Dr Perdita Phillips is showing the results of her 2009 Art Meets Vet Science Artist in Residency program at Murdoch University’s School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. Her X-ray sculptures, photographs and drawings will be situated in both the clinical and research areas. Working on themes of internal and external surfaces the artist has investigated diagnostic palpation as the point of contact between human and nonhuman worlds.
The artist floor talk will be followed by the exhibition opening at 5pm. Perdita Phillips artistic practice includes sculpture, photography, drawings, sound, video and installation. Whilst materially diverse, underlying themes of ecological processes, and a commitment to a resensitisation to the physical environment, are apparent. Working with objects, environments, found things and made things, Perdy creates a world where everyday entities and events are brought out of their invisibility. Perdy was an Australia Council SymbioticA resident in 2007/2008 and is undertaking a SymbioticA Adaptation residency, funded by the Sidney Myer Fund and The Australia Council InterArts Office in 2009. In Vetland runs from 29 August to 25 September, Monday to Friday 9:00am — 5:00pm, Saturday and Sunday 12:00pm — 5:00pm, starting at the Anatomy Museum on the ground floor of the Vet Building, School of Veterinary & Biomedical Sciences at Murdoch University.
