Behind the Brain

May 24, 2018

Jul 07, 2018

“Behind the Brain” presents the latest chapter in Tcherepnin’s ongoing saga of monsters living between worlds. Here we meet two new charac- ters, Dr. Time and Pinky Spirit, standing amidst artworks from their own domain. Theirs is a place defined by simulacra, where objects constel- late in holistic arrangements. Paintings by monsters and their portraits by humans juxtaposed gesture and ways of seeing provide us a glimpse of an alternate universe, offering a slice of their optical and cognitive register.

You are invited to submerge yourself in the architectural head, to tra- verse the facial border and plunge into the pineal whirlpool.
Behind the brain, the third eye watches images plastered on an ossien wall. Cros- sing over the border we find ourselves to be visitors, guests in the realm of the monsters. Ambassadors from earth.
