These web pages are the catalogue of hygiene - the art of public health, a major exhibition and intervention by artists into the Keppel Street building of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). The e-catalogue has now been updated with images.

The artworks in this exhibition, curated by Tony Fletcher of LSHTM and Pam Skelton of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, focus on interpretations and responses to 'hygiene' by some of Britain's most exciting artists. These works explore relationships not only with the research undertaken at the LSHTM, but its architecture, history and collections. The exhibition provides the opportunity to consider hygiene through the lens of visual artists in an institution dedicated to medical research and public health.

For more information on each artist and their work, click on the name to the left.
The links below the artists' names lead to pages with background information about the exhibition and other parts of the LSHTM contemporary arts programme. This includes a text reflecting on ‘Hygiene and Danger’ written by Val Curtis and Rachel Clarke, researchers into hygiene and infectious disease at the School.

Previous exhibitions have included shows of students’ work from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, ‘Foreign Bodies’ in 2000 and ‘Foreign Bodies 2001.’ There is a student contribution this year '+ The Parasites' presented in parallel to the main exhibition.

This exhibition benefits from exhibition organisation by Polly Gould, and the generous financial support from The Wellcome Trust, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation & Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in addition to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
