Inside the exhibition: 5-minute tour with artist Jason Wilsher-Mills
Some moments stick with you forever. For artist Jason Wilsher Mills, that moment took place in Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield on 1 August 1980 at 2.54pm.
It was when he witnessed his parents being told of his autoimmune condition that paralysed him from the neck down from the age of 11 to 16. It was also the moment he saw the British athlete Sebastian Coe - wearing the number 254 on his chest - win the men’s 1500m race at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. So, Jason’s story - told in our exhibition, 'Jason and the adventure of 254' - begins.
Join Jason, as he takes you on a guided tour of the exhibition in a video exploring personal influences and the story behind some of his key works including the mammoth-sized sculpture, 'Figure in a Bed' and the brightly-coloured 'Calliper Boots'.
'Jason and the Adventure of 254' is open now, free to visit, and running till January 2025.

Well, you could have resorted to a beard wig attached with mechanical whiskers or, if you were feeling optimistic, then you might have reached for Crinutriar. Although Crinutriar promised that 'thousands...who were once utterly destitute of beards and whiskers [could] now have those attributes of manhood', the truth was these types of products smelt foul, and were even potentially poisonous ☠️ ...

    Though corsets and stays are not harmful in a direct way, I believe that it might weaken the muscles long-term when overused, as it helps with straighter posture while worn, so the muscles don’t need to work as much. Which might ultimately lead to bad posture as well. Bad posture is also linked to bad blood flow for example, so indirectly, wearing stays and corsets still might lead to health issues. Though I am a huge fan of them and plan on wearing them.

    I simply let my back atrophy until I started exercising it; I just see corsets as a crutch, even if they are indeed comfortable.

    -Question 1: What's wrong with the framerate?- Never mind, my video playback was set to -75. Question 2: What's with the messy hair? Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm still curious. 😁

    As someone who wear corsets regularly: It's a HUGE relief for my back and shoulders, that usually have to carry a large bosom. A good bra is essential, but it can't beat a well-fitting corset.

    When I had pertussis (AKA whooping cough) at age 34, I coughed so much for half a year, that I ended up straining or even tearing the muscles between my ribs. I didn't have a corset, but I started wearing bandages around my ribs, so my ribcage couldn't expand (and consequently collapse) as much during the many coughing spells I went through. I would love a good corset. Where can I get a good one?

    I stumbled over a framed ad for the Harness Electrical Corset in a vintage and antique shop the other month, and picked it up as a fun decoration with connections both to medical misinformation and quackery, dress history, and the not-tightlaced nature of most corset wearing. And then it crops up here! 😂

    Ironic that they believed corsets caused dyspepsia, since a corset was the only thing that kept the pain in check when I had an ovarian cyst burst. No medicine would touch it, and nothing else caused the right pressure in the right places. Now I make sure to have my corsets on hand and seasoned.
