Tender Machines -Museum exhibition 2025

 

Forthcoming projects: 2026

Human Machines: 'The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart' in collaboration with Dr Sarah Zheng, Senior Research Fellow at the UCL Dawes Centre for Future Crime.

Blueprint for a Symbiocene: What the Ghost Flower can teach us about connection, in collaboration with Prof Martin Bidartondo, plant and fungal molecular ecologist, Imperial College and Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. 

 

Tender Machines: Holding Paradox curated by Richard Hore, was a body of work by Jasmine Pradissitto, inviting you to explore an ongoing 300-year dialogue, between the industrial and the sublime. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of The London Museum of Water & Steam, this exhibition reimagined the relationship between nature, human and machine, by weaving natural, found and manufactured materials with monumental Victorian structures.

Such entanglement itself is a form of renewal

 

Jasmine Pradissitto FRSA, FLIS is an award-winning London-based British artist, scientist, academic, and speaker who has a Ph.D. in physics from UCL and has studied art at Goldsmith’s and London Met. A ‘Renaissance Woman’ her critical practice spans painting, sculpture and technology and for the last 9 years, she has been pioneering the use of a ceramic material that absorbs nitrogen dioxide pollution from the air. Pradissitto has exhibited worldwide and has installed two public art projects in London for The Horniman Museum Gardens (winner of Museum of the Year Award 2022) and Camden People’s Theatre with Euston Town, a Mayor of London environmental initiative (PEA AWARD 2021). Her work based on future innovations and new modes of thinking, is less about the narrative of our past planetary ingressions and more about our symbiotic adaptation to a post-industrial,­­­ anthropogenic world; something she is now exploring as part of her first museum solo show in 2025 with The London Water and Steam Museum.
