The collection consists of material relating to commissioned artworks and exhibitions that took place at the School between 2000-2005. <\/p>\n<p>Tony Fletcher, who has been at the School since 1992, compiled the collection. His principal research interests are environmental epidemiology and environmental health risk assessment. Fletcher organised the LSHTM Contemporary Arts Programme in 2000 with the approval of the School&#8217;s Board of Management.<\/p>\n<p>The initial purpose of the programme was to commission or purchase sculptures and pictures. However, the Keppel Street building presented relatively few suitable spaces for placing or hanging art. Instead, emphasis shifted towards commissioning works that fitted, both in terms of the themes of the School and the architecture of the building. The programme also aimed to create opportunities for artists to respond to and engage with specific aspects of research which were taking place at the School. <\/p>\n<p>In parallel the School organised a series of exhibitions with the help of Pam Skelton, Central Saint Martins College of Art &amp; Design. Art students from CSM were invited to prepare new works for the first two LSHTM exhibitions, <em>Foreign Bodies 2000<\/em> and <em>Foreign Bodies 2001<\/em>. Subsequently, the <em>Hygiene &#8211; the art of public health<\/em> and <em>Smog<\/em> exhibitions showcased more ambitious thematic presentations that included major established artists.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commissioned Artworks<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Susan Brind, <em>&#8216;bad air [mal&#8217;aria]&#8217;<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Susan Brind&#8217;s 2001 installation focused on the School&#8217;s research into malaria.
