EXHIBITION :: KEYNOTE LECTURE :: PANEL DISCUSSIONS
20 – 30 JULY 2015 :: ADELAIDE
With the generous support of its partners – the University of South Australia’s Hawke Centre, Pain Adelaide and the Australia Council for the Arts – ANAT is proud to present The Art of Pain, an exhibition, keynote lecture and panel discussions timed to coincide with National Pain Week in July this year.
Two artists, 2015 Synapse resident Eugenie Lee and 2014 Synapse recipient Cat Jones, have recently worked with Pain Adelaide’s Professor Lorimer Moseley and his interdisciplinary research team. A third artist, also with experience working with pain researchers in clinical settings, is George Poonkhin Khut. Each of these three artists have created very different, but thematically-aligned works concerned with the experience of pain and its possible management.
The exhibition will be framed by public presentations, led by Professor Moseley, discussing contemporary pain research and its implications. This will include a keynote address by Moseley and discussion sessions between pain researchers and the artists about the insights that can be gained by involving artists in interdisciplinary research.
Exhibition launch: 5.30pm for 6.00pm Monday 20 July – Kerry Packer Civic Gallery at the Hawke Centre, University of SA, 55 North Terrace, Adelaide.
Keynote address: 6.00pm – 7.00pm Tuesday 21 July – Allan Scott Auditorium, at the Hawke Centre, University of SA, 55 North Terrace, Adelaide.
