I går viste vi den guldmalede akupunkturmand, der skal være med til arrangementet Kroppen i balance på torsdag (læs mere her og her). I dag kan vi lokke med lægeigler i sprit. Iglerne blev benyttet igennem århundrede i medicinsk behandling, hvor de blandt andet blev brugt til at genoprette den humorale balance. Til at fortælle […]

Vi er ved at gøre genstandene til arrangementet Kroppen i balance på torsdag klar (læs mere her og her). Blandt andet denne mandshøje, guldmalede akupunkturfigur. Til at fortælle om akupunktur og andre balancebegreber fra det, vi kalder den alternative medicin, har vi inviteret professor Helle Johannesen. Hun er forskningsleder ved Institut for Sundhedstjenesteforskning, Syddansk Universitet, […]

A luminous, fabric-draped box containing ten audience members clutching ten life-like baby dolls. An accompanying host of doll-figures in various states of sartorial and bodily undress, creepily moving (or moved) around the space. Two performers giddily flying through a fragmented set of scenes that invite the audience to sit with the tensions of being a […]

Here’s the series description from the event homepage (also in Danish here): “Come to a late night consultation at Medical Museion, and get closer than ever before to objects from the unique historical collections, ranging from amputation saws to […]

My idea for organizing the Sensuous Object workshop began over a year ago. It originated with my interest in (re) placing the object as central and focusing on the sensuous object, i.e. how we sense objects, come to know them, are affected by them and their presence, how objects can become outcomes of research, how […]

I would like to announce the programme for the forthcoming workshop on 29th and 30th September. I have been overwhelmed by the amount of interest this workshop has generated as it grew from an idea to have a small informal seminar where the object is understood sensuously and placed as central to research, to become a […]

Here’s the final (and somewhat extended) call for presentations at the workshop ‘The Sensuous Object to be held at Medical Museion, University of Copenhagen, 29-30 September, 2011 ‘The Sensuous Object’ is an interdisciplinary, participatory workshop concerned with ways we actually engage with objects and aimed at researchers in all disciplines interested in the materiality of actual […]

On Friday 13th May, Adrian Bertoli, Morten Hillgaard Bülow and I attended the University of Copenhagen Center for Healthy Aging (CEHA) retreat day at the DGI Congress Center here in Copenhagen and we have decided to bring our experiences of the day together in one blog post. Lucy says: Everyone involved in each of CEHA’s five programmes was required […]

If you happen to pass through Copenhagen in the weekend, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Medical Museion on Friday night. We’re open 6-12pm during the Copenhagen Culture Night, with the following highlights:     1) From wooden leg to robotic arm: Together with the Amputation Group of the Danish Handicap Society we are focusing on amputation and prosthetics.
