‘Disarming revelations abound…Both dignified and brutal, Transplant evokes the melancholy and trauma that underpin this uncanny transaction’

Transplant was shown at the Beldam Gallery (Brunel University) from December 2008 to March 2009.

The large-scale photographic sound installation based on Tim and John’s year at Harefield Hospital was first shown at The Nunnery Gallery in London in 2008, and was also the subject of two Art into Life workshops at Tate Modern during this run.

The Transplant DVD and book of critical essays (edited by Harefield’s Arts Manager Victoria Hume and featuring fascinating contributions from participants, anthropologists, artists, a surgeon and a psychologist) is now available. Please contact rb&hArts on arts@rbht.nhs.uk if you woud like to buy a copy at £10.

Transplant has also been featured in the book, Autumn Leaves: Sound and the Environment in Artistic Practice, edited by Angus Carlyle and published by Double Entendre in the UK and France.

ITU, a surround sound video piece recorded in Harefield’s Intensive Treatment Unit, premiered at Tate Britain in May 2007 as part of Performance of Sound and also showed at the Old Operating Theatre Museum, London Bridge and at Gallery 1313 in Toronto.

Flow, a new, site-specific video and sound installation based on materials recorded by the artists during open-heart surgery at Harefield was shown in the Herb Garret of the Old Operating Theatre.

John was commissioned by CBC Radio Canada to create a ‘composed documentary’ entitled “Someone Else Has Died”, which was broadcast across Canada in May 2007

Hearts, Lungs and Minds was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and broadcast in Jun 2008. It won the Bronze Award at the 2008 Third Coast International Audio Festival in Chicago.

The project has been presented at 3 conferences: The Art of Immersive Soundscapes at the University of Regina, in Canada; Beyond Text? at the University of Manchester; Sound, Art, Auditory Cultures at the University of Copenhagen.

John’s recent article, ITU: The din of recovery is to be published in a new book on The Art of Immersive Soundscapes by the University of Regina in Canada

The artists have also previously presented their work at Harefield at a Focus Day for London Arts in Health Forum and to a large and appreciative audience of staff members at the hospital.
