Abstract

A curated group exhibition of Artereal and invited artists supporting the breakthrough medical research of the Garvan Institute.

The cranium is the carapace for the brain, the centre of intellect, the organ of thought and feeling, the site of inspiration and creativity and other ways of knowing. Artists in this exhibition explore the many associated aspects of this area of the body; the physical, psychological, the scientific, the spiritual, its place in art history or popular culture. In many of the works the focus intentionally shifts from that emblematic external shell, the skull, to embrace the physical and conceptual complexities and conundrums within and to express and explore forms of understanding and experience.
Cranium is an exhibition supporting the breakthrough medical research of the Garvan Institute.
