This
autumn Panacea releases its therapeutic powers in Cornerhouse transforming
it into a temporary hothouse for wellbeing.
Two major artworks have been specially commissioned for PANACEAHOTHOUSE,
Sci-Fi Hot Tub by Walker
and Bromwich and Healing Wall
by Pinsky. Sci- Fi Hot Tub, a hot tub ‘island’, cocoons participants
in warmth and comfort whilst floating through sublime and potentially
hostile environments. Visitors to Cornerhouse are invited to take a dip
and debate on the issues raised by Panacea. Healing Wall a wall of light
created from green neon pharmacy signs collected by the artists during
his peregrinations in France where they are omnipresent. Based on the
principle of "too much of a good thing can be bad for you",
Healing Wall recreates the disorientating experience of the inner city’s
landscape.
