Location
Nordic Museum, SeattleIn conjunction with the Nordic Museum in Seattle’s exhibition of Munch Photographs, Dr. Morehead’s talk on January 21 examines Edvard Munch in the Clinic, 1908-09. Edvard Munch recorded his stay at a private nerve clinic in Copenhagen (1908–09) in numerous photographs, representing himself laid out for a bath, but also dressed and "at work." He photographed, sketched, and painted the clinic's doctor, as well as the nurses, care-workers, and patients who populated his world during his months-long rest cure. This talk explores the world of the clinic through Munch's work, revealing not only one artist's experience, but also a new kind of medical institution for caring and curing.

Allison Morehead has received the news that she will be a Visiting Scholar at Massey College for 2015/2016 - better dust off those academic robes, Allison!
