Laboratory Life - An Art Science Production February 22, 2011

Laboratory Life is a unique, interactive art-science laboratory, exhibition and talks programme, exploring the use of new technologies in biomedicine. At its heart is an innovative publicly accessible “open laboratory”, which will result in five new art-science projects. We welcome visitors to drop into the laboratory any afternoon (12:00-18:00pm) to meet the artists and scientists as they're working.

Artists Andy Gracie, Adam Zaretsky, Kira O'Reilly, Bruce Gilchrist, Anna Dumitriu and Gina Czarnecki are working with scientists, John Paul (Health Protection Agency), Helen Smith (Brighton & Sussex Medical School), and Tom Shakespeare (World Health Organisation), and sixteen young doctors, scientists and emerging artists, to create a series of intriguing projects which explore cutting edge medical technologies. The project will be showcased in a temporary exhibition, talks and a public forum.

This fascinating exhibition will feature DNA tattooing, astrobiology, micro-biological textiles and much more. It showcases the work created by renown international artists and scientists who will be transforming Lighthouse into a publicly accessible laboratory.
