Neuron 2010

Neuron 2010 by Roxy Paine, a 44-year old New York artist, is for exhibition in

The 17th Biennale of Sydney (12 May - 1 Aug 2010). The exhibition, directed by David Elliott, and titled The Beauty of Distance: Songs of Survival in a Precarious Age will showcase new and recent works by Sydney and international artists at Sydney's leading cultural institutions, contemporary art spaces and heritage sites.

 

Roxy Paine had made a series of large structures based on the forms of trees with their roots exposed that have been handmade out of industrial stainless steel pipe. These works are generically called Dendroids. Neuron 2010 continues this idea, focusing even more on dandrites and synapses, the means by which information, knowledge and experience are electronically transmitted through a body........[excerpts from information board]
