Andrew Carnie, Magic Forest, 2002

February 16 – April 19, 2008
Opening: Saturday, February 16, 7 – 10pm

BRAINWAVE: Common Senses responds to current advancements in neurological research by visualizing and investigating the brain’s capacity for sense perception, memory, emotion and logic. The artists in this exhibition redefine this research in a different way, abandoning literal representations of the brain and categorical analysis in favor of works that take, as starting points, elements from neuroscience and flipping these ideas on their heads.

Suzanne Anker, David Bowen, Steve Budington, Phil Buehler, Andrew Carnie, George Jenne, Daniel Marguiles and Chris Sharp, Fernando Orellana and Brendan Burns, Jamie O’Shea, SERU, Devorah Sperber, Naho Taruishi, Dustin Wenzel

BRAINWAVE is a collaboration with five other Manhattan-based cultural organizations: Rubin Museum of Art; Science & the Arts at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York; The Philoctetes Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute; and the School of Visual Arts; and is presented in association with the American Museum of Natural History.
