Do You Mind?
Inspired by Brain Awareness Week
Do You Mind? is an exhibition taking place on the 28th of July, accompanied by a limited edition publication of new artwork based on research projects specific to the Centre for Brain Research (CBR).
The exhibition will be open to the public and will comprise original artworks created through the partnership of artists with researchers from the Centre.
A challenge will be issued to the selected artists and researchers describing their requirements in participation. Each artist will then be partnered with a researcher or a research team, with whom they will collaborate for the duration of the project.
The challenge specific to the artists will ask them to interpret the work of their research partners in a creative capacity. New and engaging works are the anticipated outcome. The challenge specific to the research teams will be to provide direct information and vital inspiration pertaining to the purpose and process of their work.
The envisioned result is an exhibition and detailed publication that will push the boundaries of the interaction between research and creative engagement. This will also create an awareness of the brain research currently underway in Auckland to a fresh audience.
