Pharmacopoeia Pill Dress -coming soon

However outré, none of the brands at this month’s fashion fair have what we will have soon: A dress made entirely out of pills woven into fine, black fabric. Spectacular and (thought) provoking, the art work tries to visualize the cluster of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions (often referred to as ‘metabolic […]

Models and Disappearing Figures: The Weird World of Image Permissions

Over the last month I’ve found myself in a strange vortex of image permission issues. So I thought I’d have a little rant, but also wanted to play around with some possible implications for debates about open access and ownership in academic publishing. The disappearing figure I have a paper close to publication that includes […]

When museum objects go online

At an internal workshop here at Medical Museion, we recently discussed the problematic aspects of distributing objects from the collection on the web. The web surely poses a great opportunity for museums to get stuff out there and thereby to reach a broader audience – hopefully then inspiring them to an actual museum visit – […]

Logos and other adventures

If you’re out and about in Copenhagen this week you may see one of our new events postcards in a cafe or bar, featuring a paper-cut style plan of the museum, and listings for our upcoming event series, Close Encounters of a Material Kind, on the back. The absence of ‘writing room’ on free postcards is a […]

Video post: 5 Lab Colours

When meeting with science today, we are most often confronted with words and results. We are presented only with the highlights: We only ever meet science in her gala dress. In these videos I focus on the everyday life of science: Not the words and the results, but the experiences and the processes. These 5 very short films […]

The untouchable and the unseeable

How to display artefacts that cannot be touched or sometimes even seen, is an issue that has cropped up frequently in museums, particularly in medical museums wanting to exhibit molecular, chemical and genomic items. Thinking about this was part of the inspiration for the Sensuous Object Workshop in September here at Medical Museion. So it was […]

Queen Ingrid’s rollator

On my continuing investigation into the aesthetics of rollators I was told about the Danish Queen Ingrid. After falling and breaking her hip, she appeared in the summer of 1998 for the first time publically using a rollator. Photographs and news footage of her shows her dressed in a glamorous couture gown and pushing a […]

A manifesto for creating science, technology and medicine exhibitions

Two weeks ago I mentioned that the Museums Journal had published Ken Arnolds and my Dogme 95-style manifesto for creating science, technology and medicine exhibitions, first presented last September at a conference organised by Medical Museion in Copenhagen. We have now received the journal’s permission to publish the full version of the manifesto. Enjoy and/or criticize! Just over 15 years ago, […]

Kitchen twitter — the tweet machine

Last week we put up a computer in the staff kitchen with Twitter as the only application and main page. I call it a Tweet Machine. Over the computer I hung a small sign, urging all staff members to write about everything from philosophical reflections to descriptions of what their packed lunch contained that day: The computer […]

Postgrad course on gendered body visualisations

Why not attend a postgrad course on “Body images: gender inside/outside” in Paris with Lisa Cartwright, Adele Clarke and André Gunthert, 10-13 April: The last few decades have witnessed rapid developments and innovations in visualization techniques. This is the case for a wide variety of visualization genres, whether in scientific fields, in the fashion industry or in the […]

Drawing experiences of ageing: Lotte residential care home, Copenhagen

Upon arrival at Lotte residential care home on 7th December, I was greeted with the trappings of a party. The dining room had been recently decorated with candles and baubles for Christmas and the tables were set with Danish flags and napkins in honour of a resident’s birthday. A chair was placed for me at […]
