Franko B at BLOOD

24.10.14–23.01.15 BLOOD: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED Twenty five provocative works that explore the scientific, symbolic and strange nature of blood. Franko B comes from a visual art background and has been creating work spanning painting, performance, sculpture, photography, video and multimedia since the early 1990s. Professor of Sculpture at Academia di Belle Arti di Macerata, Italy, he has lectured and exhibited widely at The Royal College of Art, London; Academia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milan; Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford; St Martins College of Art, London; Chelsea College of Art, London; New York University, Tate Modern and ICA. In his early career he was globally best known for his blood-based performances, but in 2006 he reached a turning point and decided to discontinue this line of work. These works, while visceral, were powerful performances for both artist and audience exploring universal themes, reminding us that we are all vulnerable and that we all bleed. Woof Woof is a part of a two year work recording images specific to the artist’s life. Lover was produced in the aftermath of major surgery on his partner. ABOUT BLOOD: In developing this exhibition we purposely wanted to explore all aspects of blood, to take this broad human theme and explore it through the work of artists, surgeons, medics, feminists, designers, engineers, scholars and architects. The result is a blood-rich show, provocative, grown-up and challenging. BLOOD propels you into the minds and creations of an eclectic mix of people and disciplines laying bare the myriad ways that we have used this marvellous liquid as a research tool, biological fluid, artistic medium, identifier and symbol. Works in the exhibition explore the gruesome and the gothic, the humorous and the poetic, the medical and scientific. BLOOD is recommended for 15+.
