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. Find out more on our website: wellcome.info/jason-wilsher-m...
