Read about one of the more haunting pieces that was on display in Forensics: Jenny Holzer’s Lustmord, offering unsettling perspectives on sexual violence. For something lighter, Jessica Hughes takes a look at how our personal belongings have previously been used as conduits of self, as part of our digital project, Self Evidence.
Dr Jamie Lawson asks a very simple question on the blog linked to our current exhibition The Institute of Sexology: what is sex? The answer is less simple than you might think. Finally, a new commission for the exhibition, WOULD YOU MIND? by Neil Bartlett, is introduced, as we explain how visitors can contribute and talk about what a powerful experience it has been working on the project.
