Primitive Streak at The Wellcome Trust 26 - 31 July 

The project was showcased as part of Wellcome Trust's 75th Anniversary this July. Dr Ken Arnold, from the Trust had this to say, 

“Primitive Streak was one of the first sciart projects funded by the Wellcome Trust. Its success has provided us with an emblem of what supporting audacious collaborations between artists and scientists can yield. Almost fifteen years later it still strikes me as a fresh, intriguing and exciting project."

Please see The Wellcome Trust for more details.
