Born in Israel, a visual artist and sculptor living and working in Paris since 1974. Awarded the Sandberg Prize of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (1980). Since the beginning of his artistic activity (1967) until today Laury is questioning the so called “brain” through many of his works. His first brain piece titled “Floor Mop Brain” was done in 1969 with a floor mop arranged in the form of this organ.

Other works from the 70. and on, involved different media: Brain drawings, drawings for Brain projects, performances, photos, sculptures, installations etc. Laury's Brain drawing were mental drawings questioning the potential of human brain. The performances from 1975 examined the possibilities and limits of the brain. The photos of the performance “Cooking Art (Brains and Omlets)” from the same year was about the relation of food and mind (brain).

During the last years Laury met some brain scientists, they had a very interesting discussions about the current brain research. These exchanges with scientists helped artist to develope the concept of the installation “Brain (Laboratory)”. This complex installation includes neural network (with electric light), glass laboratory instruments, videos of laboratory experiments such as the “Eureka” phenomena. “Eureka” is the rare moment when the brain “stumbles upon” an exceptional idea that sudenly comes into light after a long research period of no results. “Brain (Laboratory)” project will develop further in relation to the advancement of scientific research on the human brain.
