Abstract:
Love him or loathe him, Professor Günther von Hagens has set the scientific and art worlds alight with his controversial exhibition of plastinated humans stripped of their skins. The exhibition has made it to the unglamourous Old Truman Brewery in London's East End, and was sending shockwaves through the media, and even Parliament, before it even opened. Set in thought-provoking positions, are the pieces there for education or are they an abomination?

Abstract:
<sub>Body Worlds is an informative scientific exhibition which displays human anatomical specimens that have been conserved using plastination, an innovative technique invented by Gunter Von Hagens. The Body Worlds allows visitors not only to observe the exposed bodies as mere aesthetic phenomena but also to think about the quality of the relationship that can be established with their own body. The exhibition can be considered an opportunity to effectively participate in the creation of new meanings about body; in this sense Body Worlds is a valid example of performative pedagogy, a democrati

Abstract:
When I told my family doctor that I was going to visit Body Worlds — an exhibition of anatomical models comprised of “real” bodies — at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, she told me that she had mixed feelings about this kind of display. She was curious to see it, of course, and thought that it might be instructive for the general public; but, in her experience as a medical student, any room containing bodies was a place to be treated with respect and a quiet reverence — voices at a whisper, a high seriousness at all times. She expected to find the jostling, noisy crowds, working their wa

Abstract:
This article argues that avant-garde exhibition design was at the forefront of constructing elastic worlds for bodies of all shapes, heights and sizes, yet there is a dearth of scholarship recognizing what these innovations mean for addressing diversity in the museum. The work of designers such as Frederick Kiesler offers excellent templates for thinking outside the frame, paving the way for exhibition design to be more cognizant of a greater variation of embodied experiences in museum architecture. Despite this, museums still lag behind in thinking about this plethora of needs. In the current

Abstract:
Body Worlds is a hugely popular exhibition that claims to offer a reverential and educational experience of the ‘real human body’ through the display of plastinated dead human bodies. However, because they are posed, staged, and composed of significant nonhuman artifice, plastinates are ambivalently ‘real’ as human bodies, let alone ‘real’ as humans. Plastinates are as much nonhuman as human, and neither category fully accounts for them. In this article, I discuss the consequences of this for feminist theory.

Body Worlds is a traveling exhibition of plastinated human cadavers that offers the general public an opportunity to experience the human body in a unique way. It has been met with controversy and awe; public reactions and responses have been mixed. This case study research explored visitor responses to this controversial science exhibition, and examined the meaning visitors made of their experience.

Over the last ten years, my work has developed into a biotope abounding in diversity, a sort of virtual “vivarium” composed of interactive pieces, musical creations, drawings and writings in numerous sketchbooks, films and installations. A digital work of art is by definition non-uniqueness; it is potentially transformable at any moment. It is both fascinating and intriguing to have access to such a “plastic material”.

The Orvietano was immediately an extraordinary success with the public, of the most varied social extraction. It was popular with ordinary people because of the way it was sold – often in market stalls in piazzas or in family-run shops, as happened in Venice from 1623 on. But it was also sought after by the elites: the Medici of Flore

Abstract Viewers of art objects in nidnineteenth-century America brought to their encounter with painting or sculpture a set of expectations very foreign to twentieth-century aesthetic values. The gulf had already opened in 1903, when Henry James looked back on the career of sculptor William Wetmore Story a half century earlier and commented that works of art in Story’s generation did not appeal to what he considered the aesthetic sense, but rather to “the sense of the romantic, the anecdotic, the supposedly historic, the explicitly pathetic.
