6th ARS Dissection Drawing Session

For Medical Art Work at the 6th ARS D³ click here

A new Dissection Drawing Session is organised on Friday 8 March (Ghent = NEW!) and Saturday 9 March 2013 (Antwerp) as part of the international ART RESEARCHES SCIENCE Program.

Specialists in animal (NEW!) and 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 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, 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: jellenicolai[at]gmail.com.

We'll have a welcome reception on Thursday 7 March 2013 at the Hostel Uppelink in Ghent. Starts at 19h00. Please contact us if you like to attend this meeting free of charge.

The Event Hostel in Ghent is the Hostel Uppelink. 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 in Ghent.

Reflections by attendants

 

Rachael: No words capture the beauty and generosity of that they call BIOMAB - for all who organised and attended the tremendous dissection event (you know who you are) my gratitude and love extends. Being an artist feels good at this moment... and of course this reaches out to the animals and humans who were not harmed in the making...

Abraham: bij deze wil ik u heel hartelijk danken voor de boeiende Ars Dissection Drawing Session. Voor mij de eerste keer, een echte ontdekking! Hoop dat het volgend jaar opnieuw doorgaat, zodra u daar data van heeft hoor ik die graag, dan kunnen we die dagen alvast reserveren. Ik vond alles heel inspirerend, en heb fijne nieuwe contacten opgedaan. Ook mijn dank aan alle de mensen die de dissectie hebben uitgevoerd.

Francis: Was super!
