Marsyas:
Running out of skin
Kira O’Reilly, Bristol
Research and Development Award: £15 000
Performance artist Kira O’Reilly will undertake a residency at SymbioticA,
within the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Western Australia.
O’Reilly will work alongside scientists through a series of collaborations
to explore processes of tissue culturing, engineering and microscopic
imaging. The project aims to re-evaluate the body as site and material,
working with culturing tissue and engineering skin grown from the artist’s
cells. The artist’s knowledge of traditional lace-making techniques
will possibly result in her generating in vitro skin lace.
