Detailed Description
'Panacea: the art of wellbeing' is an evolving, expandable and traveling artwork designed to function as a universal formula to cure social, economic and political problems. Devised and developed by the artists Michael Pinsky, Zoë Walker and Neil Bromwich, it strikes a fine balance between naïve optimism and ironic critique – a humorous and thought-provoking comment on society's increasing demands upon the artist as 'social reformer, economic revitaliser and catalyst for all things good'.
Three publications have been published by John Hansard Gallery: 'Panacea', which gives an overview of the project and the commissioned works; and two monographs, one of the work of Michael Pinsky and one of the works of Zoe Walker & Neil Bromwich. These are available either individually or as a set. Between them, they document all new works made throughout the project and include discussion and debate around the various issues brought about by the ideas behind Panacea.
The three books have been published to accompany the exhibition 'Panacea: the Art of Wellbeing' at John Hansard Gallery, Southampton 2005. Funded by the Wellcome Trust and Arts Council England. Designed by CHK Design.
