Peta Clancy and Helen Pynor (sound by Gail Priest), The Body is a Big Place



Helen Pynor has a background in science but later studied visual art. Three years ago she also became a doctor of philosophy. Her practice combines biological science and visual expression to explore the inside of our bodies, and to investigate the relationship between the physicality of the human body and its culturally constructed status.
During the show we will be talking about how she managed to get her hands on a fresh human brain but Helen will also discuss some of her broader projects such asThe Body Is A Big Place, a large-scale installation that explores organ transplantation and the thresholds between life and death.
