Lyndsey Walsh is an American artist, writer, and researcher based in Berlin, DE. Lyndsey has a Bachelor’s in Individualized Studies from New York University and a Master’s in Biological Arts with Distinction from SymbioticA Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts at the University of Western Australia. Lyndsey is enthralled by the ruptures in the corporeality of culture caused by technology. They are also fixated on the creatures that are born from these ruptures, as they embody both collective cultural fears and technologically mediated desires.

Lyndsey’s practice employs queer and intersectional feminist frameworks to question the tensions that can exist surrounding these creatures whose very existence resists cultural and anthropocentric binaries of human-non-human, diseased-healthy, and life-machine. Currently, Lyndsey is a visiting scholar and researcher with the Department of Experimental Biophysics at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, and they guest lecture at various institutions and universities. Their work has been exhibited globally and featured in art events and with institutions such as Frieze Art Week New York, the Humboldt Forum, the Ural Biennial, the Berlin Biennale, Transmediale/CTM, and more.

THE HANGING DROP
DOC 234—34/2





2018

The Hanging Drop is a tissue culture performance experiment that aims to question the ways in which the micro-agencies of cellular bodies and the distortion of microscopic environments can impact the form-making abilities of living materials.

The performance was designed by suspending living Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells derived from bone marrow in a droplet of liquid Nutrient Medium. These droplets were flipped upside down in order to change the impact of gravity on the formation and growth of the microscopic cellular structures.

Each performance would last a total of 72 hours. During this time they would reach a peak in their form-making abilities. When the cells depleted their environment of nutrients, the cellular forms would dissolve signaling the limits of their ability to retain.

The Hanging Drop was performed and exhibited live at the Moores Building in Fremantle, WA, Australia as part of the exhibition “Return of the Teratoma”. This work was created with the support of SymbioticA Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts at the University of Western Australia. Scientific collaboration and support were provided by Dr. Stuart Hodgetts and the Spinal Cord Repair Lab at the University of Western Australia.
