The Living Room eksisterede som et eksperimentelt forsknings- og udstillings-projekt i et lille støvet rum i museets kælder. Nu tager vi afsked med The Living Room, men mens afsked ofte kan være vanskeligt, er der noget decideret paradoksalt ved at tage afsked med et projekt som gav museets kasserede genstande nye levende begyndelser. I denne blog, der er baseret på min afskedstale for The Living Room, vil jeg mindes, hvad The Living Room var og hvad vi nu tager afsked med, og berøre det paradoksale i afslutningens ulidelige uafsluttethed.

To celebrate the end of the Microbes on the Mind project at Medical Museion, we are hosting two open lectures in the auditorium, alongside the evening art performance Sensing Holobiont: Flavourful Rituals for Metabolic Companions.

Lektor og medicinhistoriker Adam Bencard fra Medicinsk Museion har skrevet en række artikler om smerteforskningen og smertebehandlingens historie til fagtidsskriftet Sår. Tidsskriftet udgives af Dansk Selskab for Sårheling, og indeholder fagmedicinsk stof omhandlende sårvidenskab og sårbehandling. I de næste uger vil vi i samarbejde med Sår gengive en række af teksterne her på vores blog.

Text as technology for care and understanding is an upcoming PhD course, asking what ‘text’ is, and how and when ‘text’ matters in practices of education, medicine, care, hybrid art, exhibitions and research. To explore these questions and their implications, we bring together interdisciplinary perspectives to problematize text as technology. The PhD course takes place […]

Online talk: Tomorrow June 10th from 11 to 13 you have the chance to join a conversation event taking place online as part of the Future Urban Legacy Lab online discussion series at Politechnico di Torino. 

In my previous blog post, I invited you on a virtual conceptual tour into the imaginary of The Living Room. Today I wish to dwell on the conception of care at museums and propose extending our sense of what it means to care beyond our inclinations to save at all costs. 

The sonic arts have long been fascinated with accessing and revealing phenomena unavailable to direct aural perception. Seeking above, under or altogether beyond our scope of auditory perception – pursuing cries of bats, tectonic rumble, and electromagnetic fields – or merely those sounds inaccessible due to the constraints of time and space, such as vast […]
