Each of the three artists have created very different, but thematically-aligned works concerned with the experience of pain and its possible management.

Cat Jones will be presenting one-on-one performance experiences throughout the 1st week of the exhibition in the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery as part of her installation (bookings open from 13 July).

Timed to coincide with National Pain Week, the exhibition will be framed by public presentations, led by Professor Moseley, and discussing contemporary pain research and its implications. This will include a keynote address and discussion sessions between Professor Moseley, members of his research team and the artists, about the insights that can be gained by involving artists in interdisciplinary research.
