About

A new art exhibition opens in Bristol in the grounds of GenesisCare at Aztec West on Saturday 4th May.  The leading private cancer care provider is residence to the immersive MPN 10 art exhibition as part of its UK 2024 tour. The exhibition, created by Novartis UK, shines a light on the symptoms of rare blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In total 10 bespoke sculptures have been exclusively designed by five mural artists from around the UK, with Bristol artist Spike Clark chosen to design numbers 8 and 10.

MPNs are a type of blood cancer which originate in the bone marrow, with three main types: myelofibrosis (MF), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and polycythaemia (PV). With MPNs affecting ~4,100 people in the UK each year, it's never been more important to be aware of the symptoms. The installation forms part of Novartis and MPN Voice’s campaign ‘Meet the MPN 10’ which features 10 sculpture characters which personify the most common symptoms associated with these types of cancers – for example, ‘Full Up Fred’ and ‘Night Sweats Nick’ who were both created by Bristol aerosol artist Spike Clark. Visitors to the installation can meet and interact with the characters via an augmented reality (AR) experience.

The immersive pop-up art exhibition will be on display outside GenesisCare in Bristol from Saturday 4th May until mid-June.
