Embodiments is an exhibition that brings together art, philosophy, and cognitive science.  The exhibition features 8 international artists, whose work explores the body, and a day-long workshop with presentations by scholars who study the philosophy, psychology, and history of art.  In addition, there will be opportunities for visitors to participate in psychological studies that measure aesthetic experiences while viewing the art on display.
