This remarkable 18th-century wax anatomical model comes from the Javier Puerta Museum, and was recently on display as part of the “Arte y Carne” Exhibition this past May in Madrid. It’s similar to one I posted a few days ago, but this one depicts twins. Wax models like this were used for teaching anatomy to medical students at a time when few bodies were available for dissection. They very much represent the merging of science and art which characterized the Enlightenment.

The exhibition From one territory another is fruit of a wish to enable a dialogue between the landscape photographs that are an outcome from two specific « commissions ».
The first one was initiated in 2009 by a regional authority, Le Grand Lyon, which had chosen four photographers from the gallery and given them a carte blanche in order to show it’s area, at the time composed of 57 municipalities. The second one was initiated in 2010 by four photographers, founders of the mission France(s) territories liquide (France(s) liquid territory). The project’s ambition is to offer an open and a multiple view on French landscape, inviting other photographers to join them. Among 43 participating artists, three are represented by the gallery.
The gallery have followed and accompanied the photographers during these two commissions which gave free rein to Arièle Bonzon, Serge Clément, Beatrix von Conta, Francois Deladerrière and Bernard Plossu, to express and confirm their singular point of view. May they all be thanked for that.
