Entry Deadline: March 1, 2013 Notifications: April 1, 2013 Body and BrainExhibition Dates: May 10 – June 20, 2013 Juror: Ginny Sykes Entry Deadline: February 13, 2013 What does it mean to “know something” in the body? What are the implications when our hair stands on end in fear, when we feel a rush of adrenalin, or just feel truth in our gut? The relationship between the mind and body has fascinated humankind for centuries. Research in the arenas of science, psychology, the arts, religion, and spirituality raises questions about this connection and how it impacts our lives. Does what we think affect our physical health? Or vice versa? Does spiritual or mental illness affect the body? Do the shapes, colors, and abilities of our bodies affect how we see or know ourselves, how others see us, and how we understand our lived experience in the 21st century? How does science and technology impact this relationship?
