HELEN PYNOR ‘Borderlands’ at The Cell, Stockholm 

May 15, 2024

An exhibition of three major installations by Helen Pynor entitled ‘Borderlands’ is currently on show at The Cell in Hagastaden, Stockholm, including The Body is a Big Place (with Peta Clancy included as the collaborating artist), The End is a Distant Memory, and 93% Human. The works were the result of long-term, in-depth collaborations with scientists and clinicians, in which scientific methodologies and technologies were deployed in service of their philosophically framed explorations. Collaborations with other creative practitioners such as sound artists, composers, performance makers, choreographers and videographers were also integral to the realisation of the works, enabling the works to activate multiple senses in exhibition viewers and support the evocation of the complex themes being explored.
