Cosmos

  • Martha Gray

Cosmos was an exhibition curated in collaboration with Natasha Sabatini and Jill Mueller, and exhibited at two hospitals in Oxford. 'In collaboration with Lumen, Natasha Sabatini and Jill Mueller, ‘Cosmos’ is at its core an exhibition about our placement within the far-flung natural world. The show will bring together the macro and micro, outer space and the human body, blurring the lines between the two. The exhibition travelled between two sites, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and Churchill Hospital. Evidence shows that art inspires wellbeing and healing. Exhibiting in a hospital setting is an opportunity to provide moments of wonder or relief to patients, families and staff in what can be a stressful environment, to encourage meaningful cultural encounters, and to introduce new audiences to contemporary art.'
