Exhibition Images of the Mind presents how both artists and scientists have been envisioning the human mind for centuries. It is on view at the Moravian Gallery until 3/18 2012.

The exhibition will display a wide scope of exhibits: from medieval medical tractates and illuminated manuscripts via medical illustration from the 19th century to current high-tech biomedicine images and visualizations. They will be accompanied by a broad spectrum of artistic expressions of various origins that depict the working of the mind – such as Renaissance portraits representing the “movement of the mind” or examples of Chinese landscape paintings created as clear metaphors of the human mind, works of art of classic modernism and contemporary art, including installations, new media and videoart.
