BLOOD: LIFE UNCUT
BLOOD: Life Uncut was a pop-up season revealing the essential, expressive and visceral nature of blood. The season highlighted the scientific and symbolic nature of blood by telling personal and provocative stories of this vital, life-affirming fluid that connects us all.
The season brought artists, researchers and clinicians from King’s College London’s Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine together to develop a free exhibition at Copeland Gallery, Peckham, and a programme of performances, participatory events and workshops across various locations including Guy’s Chapel at King’s College London, Hay’s Galleria and more.
Curatorial Advisors
To reflect Science Gallery London’s aspiration to act as a catalyst for creative collaborations in art and science, we draw on the expertise of a group of people who approach the season topic from their individual artistic or scientific perspectives. Our curatorial advisors help Science Gallery London to shape the content and direction of the season so that it becomes something that has credence in their respective worlds.
