The focus of this Exhibition Review Essay is Rose Adams' solo multi-media exhibit IMAG/in/ING: Brain Imaging, featured at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts in Canning, Nova Scotia in May 2010. We frame our review as a critically reflexive dialogue, which draws attention to what 'struck' us. Our shared 'struck bys' offer a way of making new connections between tacit knowing and explicit knowledge, especially about the lived experience of the human brain, including the brain with Alzheimer's Disease. Referencing ten images from Rose's exhibit that evoked 'striking' moments, we construct and negotiate a shared sense of situations, interweaving the immediate event of the exhibition with our shared life histories, which include Rose and others viewing the exhibition. Art in formal and informal care settings as our mutual research interest suffuses much of the content of what struck us in Rose's art. We layer our critically reflexive dialogue, composed as in-the-moment reflexive activity tied to how we feel, what we say, and how we respond to others, with the artifice of pertinent references to scholarly and popular literature. We conclude that relational responses -our struck bysemerge during in-the-moment viewing of visual art and conversation. We draw new connections between art and science, the natural world and human social existence, and between art, neuroscience and reflective/reflexive practices.
