SPARE PARTS:
RETHINKING HUMAN REPAIR
The SPARE PARTS season explored the art, science, ethics and technology that enables human repair and alteration. It considered the emotional and psychological aspects of living with a replacement organ or limb; organic or engineered.
Developed alongside scientists from King’s College London, the free exhibition and accompanying events programme invited visitors to question whether ‘spare parts’ can exist outside the biological body, or whether our bodies can be a sum of independent parts that are regenerated, enhanced, donated or altered.
