KØS Museum
Installation view of Ella Doran, Bedside Views at What Does Art Do In Hospitals?, KØS Denmark
Vital Arts participates in an exhibition exploring Arts and Health at KØS Museum of Art in Public Spaces in Denmark.
Entitled, What Does Art Do at Hospitals? the comprehensive show included work by Roger Hiorns which Vital Arts commissioned in 2012 for the new Royal London Hospital building, and examples of the bespoke furniture, prints and privacy curtains designed by Ella Doran for the children hospital.
The exhibition is accompanied by a publication on the topic, to which Vital Arts Director, Catsou Roberts, has contributed a chapter entitled, ‘Raising the Bar: Advocating New Approaches to Commissioning Art in Healthcare’. Roberts was also invited to present a paper about commissioning innovative and ambitious art projects at an major international symposium in Copenhagen in November. Seminar details can be found here.
