Exhibition knits together art and medicine
An exhibition which opened today examines the links between art and medicine.
A bottle of machine knitted pills and a wooden display cabinet symbolising the human body are just some of the exhibits included in 'Body of Work.'
The exhibition is the work of the finalists in the fifth annual open art competition organised by the Naughton Gallery at Queen’s and sponsored by Queen’s University School of Nursing & Midwifery.
It revisits the historic links between artists and medics in the light of contemporary practice and featured works will be on display at the Naughton Gallery at Queen’s University, Belfast, from Thursday April 13 to Thursday May 25.
The exhibition features 30 works from artists across the north and south of Ireland and themes explored using media from traditional oils and paint to digital imaging and installation include the perils of smoking, the use of plants in healthcare and the common syringe as both an instrument of healing and of destruction.
QUB History of Art lecturer Amanda Croft will be giving a gallery talk on the exhibition at the Naughton Gallery at Queen’s on Saturday April 22 and Saturday May 20 at 12pm. Admission is free.
