Jason and the Adventure of 254
This exhibition is in partnership with Wellcome Collection.
Wellcome Collection and Attenborough Arts Centre are pleased to present ‘Jason and the Adventure of 254’, a major solo exhibition by Jason Wilsher-Mills. Showcasing his largest and most personal commission to date, this free exhibition is a joyful and subversive exploration of the body, drawing on the artist’s experience of becoming disabled as a child.
Reimagining the gallery space as a hospital ward, Wilsher-Mills’ immersive installation of sculptures, illustrations and interactive dioramas challenges the cultural and societal perceptions surrounding disability, medicine and the human body. Through a kaleidoscope of colours and a touch of magic realism, the exhibition is also a celebration of family, his working-class background and the opportunities he received through hospital education, inviting audiences to explore childhood memories and creativity through the artist’s trademark humour.
‘Jason and the Adventure of 254’ is curated by Shamita Sharmacharja, Wellcome Collection Curator, and commissioned by Wellcome Collection.
