Anatomical Theatre

Norwegian Sculpture Biennale, Vigeland-museum and -park
13.09-10.11.2013

For Norwegian Sculpture Biennale 2013 a full scale model of the anatomical theatre of Gustavianum, Uppsala University, (1662-64) was erected. The replica, made out of OSBand pine, was erected in the Gustav Vigeland Park, close to the infamous sculpture Monolith.

Anatomical Theatre explored principle of «body in space» as well as the qualities of this particular historical architecture with all of its physical extremities on view. Anatomical Theatre served as a platform for the exploration of the mind and body through a program of lectures, discussions and conversations, a video/ film, and performance program as well as execution of different practices in physical and mental training. The events took place inside the theatre, and the sculptural structure thus became a dialogue-theatre with historical reference.
