Fondazione Prada presents “Human Brains: It Begins with an Idea,” on view through November 27. Curated by Udo Kittelmann in collaboration with Taryn Simon and with the support of a comprehensive scientific board, the show is the result of an investigative research project motivated by a passion to understand the complexity and history of the human brain. In a vast combination of projections, historical objects, visual art and books, it explores neuroscientific discoveries and progress alongside faults and uncertainties.
Said Miuccia Prada, President of Fondazione Prada, “We are increasingly interested in relevant subjects that impact the lives of everyone, even when those topics are difficult to understand…we are convinced that talking about the human brain means talking about the human being. Focusing on the uniqueness of our brain helps us understand the influence that scientific research has in our lives and the broader progress of culture.”
