Andrew Carnie’s practice involves interaction with scientists, regarding themes based around neurology. He will exhibit two works; Slice, a slide-dissolve work that explores the body as a theatre of action, and Magic Forest, a dream-like journey through a sea of developing neurons.

The Magic Forest was dependent on research by the Spanish anatomist Santiago Ramon Y Cahal and on the contemporary work of Dr Richard Wingate of the MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, King’s College, London. The work was made for the exhibition Head On, a show at the Science Museum, London on neurology and the brain in collaboration with Wellcome Trust.
