It is the last day to take a 'thing' no bigger than your head to the Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road, London NW1. If you aren't able to go in person you can upload an image to the flickr group.

Mark Clarke

Hildegard of Bingen, (detail) 2008

Clarke's Cabinets of Cures: Blood, Mermaids and Madness continues at the Wellcome Collection until 5th April. Artist Mark Clarke was commissioned by the Wellcome Collection to create an installation inspired by Sir Henry Wellcome's Medicine Man gallery. 'I wanted to produce something that was enchanting and beautiful that goes against prevailing cynicism but at the same time still addresses the provacative subject matter involved in the struggle against sickness and disease.'

Thankyou to Selvedge magazine for their review which inspired me to go and see the show.

Postcards produced by the Wellcome Collection 183 Euston Road, London NW1 from the exhibition War and Medicine. I missed this exhibition which ended a couple of weeks ago - you can still buy the book. The Wellcome Collection has a permanent display of unusual artifacts including a short film, The Phantom Museum by The Quay Brothers and a great bookshop.
