Museum Worlds
This conversation between the founding and current directors of the multi-award-winning Medical Museion at the University of Copenhagen was held online, COVID-19-style, in the spring of 2021. We have different backgrounds and instincts. One of us is an academic historian of science, who almost accidentally ended up also running a museum. The other has spent decades working in museums, and then found himself hired as a university professor. Here we discuss the evolution of Medical Museion over the last two decades—the Museion concept, the integration of research and curatorship, the interaction of art and science, the balance between historical contextualization and aesthetic “presence,” the Faustian pact with foundations, and so forth—plus some visions for its future development.

In early April, Jacob Lunderby, Ephraim Russell, Josh Weiss, and I met to discuss In Front of Your Eyes, the exhibition by Jacob Lunderby and Martha MacLeish at Grizzly Grizzly. They asked me to facilitate the creation of a text that engages with the exhibition. Based on our conversation and my own responses and passions, I proposed a few topics and invited Jacob and Martha to play with and around them, replying to me individually. Having gathered their remarks, we then spoke by phone and each took another turn revising, growing our language towards, around, through the works and vice versa. Below is our call-and-response, documentation of the work, and documentation of the deinstall, which, given the works and the topics below, should complete the picture.

Engaging the Muse: Reflections on Art and Creativity
Australian and New Zealand Psychodrama …, 2008
Walter Logeman is a Psychodramatist and Psychotherapist living and working in Christchurch. He recently made time to explore his creative side and to sketch, blog, make prints and learn about art and artists. This art experience has had an interesting impact on his psychodramatic work and thinking. Abstract J.L. Moreno's vision, practice and writing ranges widely but at the core there is always a philosophy of spontaneity and creativity. This essay reflects on the author's personal creative experiences, with Moreno's ideas as a guide. The Canon of Creativity, along with its implications for the two aspects of spontaneity training, deconserving and role training, is explored. The essay concludes with some stories and quotes from the life of painters, to highlight the explosion of creativity and spontaneity that can occur in the moment.
