Artworks
Charlie Murphy is developing a major body of artworks, installations and participatory events in collaboration with Professor Selina Wray and her lab team at UCL London’s Department of Neurodegenerative Disease.
Responding to the intricate rituals, patterns, colourings and readings of cell cultures she has observed down the lab microscopes, Charlie’s is creating delicate hand drawn glass sculptures (studies for neurons, cerebral organoids) , light projections (in vitro) and video installations which aim to connect the microscopic clusters of human tissues grown ‘in a dish’ with embodied, lived experiences .
Charlie is collaborating with Professor Wray’s Lab, Dr Eric Hill (Aston University ) and engineer Robin Bussell and Barnsley Museum’s Cooper Gallery towards a major new exhibition in Oct 2022
We aim to create artworks and events which invite audiences to learn about the vital differences between growth and degeneration and consider some of the dramatic personal implications and potentials which these advances in technology present for our sense of self, wellbeing, cognitive function and life expectancy.
We welcome contributions from new collaborators, curators and institutions to the development of new presentations and events. Get in touch if you’d like to know more;
