Please join me this Saturday 20 October, 3-5pm in Cambridge where I will be presenting My Buddy (2018) at the Gurdon Institute.
This new performance is inspired by how yeast cells move and was
developed during a period of research with scientists from the Zegerman
Lab.
Since January 2018 I have been
working with members of the Lab to carry out experiments on wild yeast
cultures, extracting their DNA and observing the movements of cells
under the microscope. Click here to read my Lab notes from one of the experiments.
My Buddy will be performed by Kirsty Arnold, Laura Doehler and Adam Moore.
This commission is part of Experiments in Art and Science, a
collaboration between Kettle's Yard and the Gurdon Institute at
Cambridge University.

Saturday 20 October, 3-5pm
The Gurdon Institute, Tennis Court Rd, Cambridge CB2 1QN
Three
contemporary artists David Blandy, Rachel Pimm and Laura Wilson present
new film and performance resulting from time spent interacting with
scientists at the Gurdon Institute. The scientists are from three
different labs within the Institute, but each is focused on answering
fundamental questions about developmental biology.
The
Gurdon Institute is named after co-founder and Nobel Laureate Sir John
Gurdon. The Institute is a world-leading centre for research into the
biology of development and how normal growth and maintenance go wrong in
diseases.
A partnership between Kettle’s Yard and the Gurdon Institute funded by Wellcome.
