RUBIN MUSEUM OF ART
150 WEST 17 STREET, NEW YORK CITY
The museum’s fourth annual exploration of the human mind investigates the relationship between dreams and prophecy.  Why do we dream?  What function does this ancillary brain activity serve?  Do dreams anticipate the future?  Brainwave will endeavor to answer these questions in a series of on-stage conversations between neuroscientists and people from many walks of life.  This series will be augmented by workshops, films, and performance pieces.  Participating this year are actor Debra Winger, standup Henry Rollins, musician Meredith Monk, painter David Salle, playwrights Frank McGuinness and John Patrick Shanley, puppeteer Roman Paska, British speculative fiction writer Graham Joyce, Tibetan teacher Lama Lhanag, meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg, and writers Siri Hustvedt, Scott Turow, Amy Tan and Nathan Englander.

YOUR TICKET INCLUDES ADMISSION TO THE MUSEUM GALLERIES
