5th ARS Dissection Drawing Session

.A new Dissection Drawing Session is organised on Saturday 3 March 2012 in Antwerp, Belgium as part of the international ART RESEARCHES SCIENCE Program.

Specialists in human anatomy will dissect and explain in close detail an upper and lower arm (deep frozen and thawed), an upper and lower leg (deep frozen and thawed), a full brain, a heart with its coronary vessels and two lungs with their network of bronchi,…There will be many moments to ask questions, to draw, to paint, to dissect oneself and to reflect and communicate on the enormously beautiful but also very fragile human body.

There are not really any easels available, as it is a dissection room, but there are some tables, and some angle poised lights, and it is pretty bright in there in general. You can bring sketchbooks, large paper, small paper, watercolors, ink, pencils , whichever you prefer to work with. Some people work in biro or felt tip pen and have some beautiful results, so it's entirely up to you. The idea is to make some quick sketches at first , and get used to the atmosphere, we have a whole day there, firstly most people just look while the medical students and anatomists dissect, and then once the dissection has been brought to a point where people would like to sit down and draw, it is then placed on a stand so people can make more detailed drawings.

As this is a growing international art event, an overview exhibition and publication of the large amount of art work that has been produced and will be created will be organized in 2014, the 500th birthday year of the great anatomist Andreas Vesalius.
On behalf of the international and local organizing committees of these Dissection Drawing Sessions, BIOMAB vzw and Jelle Nicolaï, the primary coordinators of the planned 2014 ART RESEARCHES SCIENCE exhibition and publication, we would like to ask all participants of today and of former marathons to contact their local program director and/or the Belgian organizers, to bring their final art work or a digital copy to Antwerp or sent the work in high resolution format afterwards to: ann.van.de.velde[at]hotmail.com.

We'll have a welcome reception and pre-meeting dinner on Friday 2 March 2012 at the HIhostel Pulcinella in Antwerp. Starts at 19h00. Please contact us if you like to attend this meeting free of charge.

The Event Hostel is the HIhostel Pulcinella in Antwerp. It's in the city centre with lots of possibilities for going out in the evening and public transportation to go to the University Campus.

A post-marathon dinner on Saturday 3 March 2012 is planned at the HIhostel Pulcinella in Antwerp. Starts at 19h45. Please contact us if you like to attend this meeting free of charge. Afterwards we'll go for a drink in the city centre of Antwerp.

Entrance fee: 20 euro pp for the use of the Dissection Room
Registration is required.

"Toen kwam het ter sprake over hoe dit fenomeen tot stand was gekomen. Nu hadden we gedacht om een overzichtstentoonstelling te houden aangezien dit de vijfde maal zal zijn in maart en dit tot een 5-jarig evenement uit te bouwen. Dat de informatie die vergaard wordt tijdens de dissecties en de werken achteraf tot één geheel gebundeld kan worden, met een catalogus waarmee men iets tastbaars kan aantonen, een document in handen heeft over alle verschillende stijlen en invalshoeken, van schetsen tot foto's, van impressies tot proza & poëzie, enz.. ieder kan zo meer halen uit dit gegeven en putten uit het perspectief van anderen of ze nu student kunst of geneeskunde zijn, docent of leek... Uiteraard gaat de opbrengst hiervan naar de vzw zodat er in de toekomst sprake kan zijn van een positieve groei naar tentoonstellingen en projecten. Dit om de 5 jaar lijkt mij een overzichtelijk geheel, een beetje zoals de Biënnale waarop men zich kan voorbereiden zodat ook internationaal onze collega's de kans en tijd krijgen." - Jelle Nicolaï, 2011
