'Someone I Know' Exhibition
Held at the RSU Anatomy Museum, Riga, Latvia
from September 25 to December 27, 2025
this solo exhibition featured a series of watercolour heads on paper.
Creative Inspiration: The series was an emotional response to Carnie’s own experience with retinal detachment and surgery, using the outline of the human head as a "stage" to explore the psyche and internal bodily processes.
Medical Parallel: While the watercolours resemble modern radiological images (like MRIs or CT scans), they are intended to visualise aspects of the human experience that remain inaccessible to current medical technology
Andrew Carnie is an artist and academic at Winchester School of Art, Southampton University. His practice often involves a meaningful interaction with scientists. He is part of the Critical Practices Research team, where his interests lie in exploring the self through the lens of hybridity, as well as in organ transplantation and immunology. Other themes and ideas are often based on neurology, the brain, and how we get a sense of ourselves through scientific ideas and images. The work is often time-based, employing slide-dissolve systems or video projection onto complex screens. In darkened spaces, layered images appear and disappear on suspended voiles, the developing display absorbing the viewer into an expanded sense of space and time through slowly unfolding narratives that evolve around them. His work has been exhibited at the Science Museum, London, Natural History Museum, Rotterdam, Design Museum, Zurich, Exit Art, in New York, Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, Great North Museum, Newcastle, Pera Museum, Istanbul, Dresden Hygiene Museum, Morevska Gallery, Brno, and the Daejeon Museum of Art, South Korea amongst many others, most recently the Hatton Gallery and Vane, Newcastle.
