Anatomy
and the Performance of Weight
Kirsten Norrie, Oxford
Research and Development Award: £15 000
The aim of the project is to develop a series of live works using objects
based on the individual weights of internal organs and to draw on their
cultural and mythological significance. Artist Kirsten Norrie will work
alongside Dr Matthew Wood, from the Department of Human Anatomy at the
University of Oxford; Dr Sarah Simblet and Professor Brian Catling from
The Ruskin School of Fine Art, to examine the relationship between art
and anatomy. The collaboration will lead to an understanding of the contemporary
physical self.
