Post Mortem

15 October – 20 December 2015 .   Rommelaere Building, University of Ghent, Belgium.

Fabrica Vitae highlighted and explored the perception of the human body by scientists and artists.  In Post Mortem thirty of the artists made new work in dialogue with the spaces, theme and scientific artefacts from the collections of the University of Ghent.

A team of curators led by Pascale Pollier developed the concept of Post Mortem as a fitting ending to the Fabrica Vitae tour.

The photographs show The Space Between sculpture in the autopsy room in the Post Mortem exhibition. The sculpture is in two parts with the anchor on the autopsy table and the pair of crow wings in the corner.

In tribute to an extraordinary collaboration between art and science this booklet has been compiled. Scan the pages to glimpse into a world where the dead body relives through reexamination, analysis, creativity and documentation.

I felt deeply privileged to join the collaboration.

Who am I?

Hello! I am a visual artist focusing on issue-based work that investigates the environmental issues behind fractured realities. Exploring the enigma of our existence, revealed in our ways of being, our relationship with our environs and the marks we leave behind is my preoccupation. My predilection for collaborations with scientists and geographers has led to an informed body of work that reflects a world without a sense of equilibrium. The work aims to have an oblique potency that acknowledges the world’s dark underbelly, whilst acting as a catalyst for igniting debate. I am an innate researcher who has not lost the infantile curiosity and wonder about the world - the questions and answers are in flux - I appreciate other people's viewpoints so please comment on posts that interest you - I am always happy to hear constructive criticism about my artworks and hear more information about and/or debate issues I raise. Both as metaphor and in material selection, my artistic responses focus on brooding degradation: peeling layers inviting a meditation on the narrative exposed. I try not to create more stuff – our world is already over-stuffed – so I reuse and transform objects whenever possible to satisfy my environmental conscience. This blog was initially started to complement my residency at University of Central Lancashire in Britain where I was working with scientists in the School of Built and Natural Environment examining the hidden impacts of our way of life. The residency has now ended but due to the public response I aim to continue it as long as people are interested in my art practice. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. Visit www.jacscott.com for more information about my contemporary practice.
