Current Exhibition at The Wellcome Collection 28 September – Extended to 4th December 2011!

Charlie Murphy’s work often encourages or relies on the participation of the public, but at its heart is an exploration of the intimate – the private.

Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1999, Murphy has been inviting members of the public to collaborate with her to create casts of moments of intimate human contact. During this time she has collected hundreds from all over the world, often through performative ‘kiss-in’ events.

Occupying specially adapted display cases spread over three floors of the Wellcome Collection stairway, the exhibition shows selected works from this continuing project, as well as new directions Murphy’s work is taking and her continuing interest in performance and the processes of making.

The exhibition is open from 10-6pm daily
