| A record of Psychological Prosthetics’ tours of Europe, Israel and the West coast of the United States. The project Psychological Prosthetics explores the links between art, commerce and emotional need.Psychological Prosthetics asked the question to the public “Can an art object fix your feelings?” At each performance, the artists as nurse/ specialists handed out samples, provided one-on-one consultations, presented infomercials and demonstrations of products, in order to elicit conversation with the audience about art and mental health. This is a short clip from the 19:30 video piece. • To go to Psychological Prosthetics website - in a new window • To go to Operating Instructions website - in a new window |
