About Tim McHenry
Tim McHenry is an author, curator, and museum impresario who has been providing visitors to the Rubin Museum of Art with what Huffington Post has called “some of the most original and inspired programs on the arts and consciousness in New York City.” The integration of neuroscience with contemplative practice in the groundbreaking series Brainwave has given rise to such museum experiences of ‘serious play’ such as the Dream-over, the Memory Palace, and The Game of Life. The Mandala Lab installation is the most complete representation of his beliefs in integrating science, Buddhist wisdom traditions, and artistic innovation to emphasize empathetic experiential engagement as a means of heightening self-awareness and well-being.
