Street Anatomy’s 5 Year Anniversary!

 

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since Street Anatomy began as a small medical illustration blog. Each year I’ve seen it grow exponentially all thanks to our wonderful audience and the amazing artists who use human anatomy in their art.

I want to thank each and every one of you for following Street Anatomy and for supporting us in bringing you the best anatomical art out there from all over the world!!

This past year brought us a very successful gallery show, OBJECTIFY THIS: Female Anatomy Dissected and Displayed, numerous features and interviews in blogs, an expanded gallery store, and increasing relationships with many anatomical artists.

But, rather than make this about reminiscing, I’m going to take you forward to where Street Anatomy is headed. We have so many exciting projects coming up in the next few months that I’ll preview for you below! You’ll hear more about these projects in the days and weeks ahead, so stay tuned!

Street Anatomy website redesign

I’ll also be adding street art and tattoo gallery pages, an exhibition section, featured artists section, and much more!

The Fleshlettes

Jonathan Payne Fleshlettes

Jonathan Payne Fleshlette Tonya
“This is Tonya, she’s the matriarch of the Fleshlette family.”

 

Jonathan Payne Fleshlette Toni
“This is Toni. She smells. None of the other girls pick her to be on their team. She can type 90 wpm.”

 

Jonathan Payne Eileen Fleshlette
“She is named Eileen (for obvious reasons).”

 

Jonathan Payne Richanda Fleshlette
“Here is Richanda, the 6th fleshlette. She is similar to the others except for one key difference: her singing voice.”

 

Jonathan Payne Fleshlette Gisele

Are they making you slightly uncomfortable?  These little “tumorous balls of flesh”, called Fleshlettes, are the creation of California-based artist Jonathan Payne who specializes in creature and character design. Sculpted from materials like super sculpey, polymer clay, acrylic, and even human hair, each Fleshlette has a name and unique personality. They’re so grotesque they’re almost cute…

This Thursday Night at Observatory: "Natural Histories: Extraordinary ?Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library"? with Tom Baione of AMNH

This Thursday, January 10, I am so very excited to be hosting my former colleague at the American Museum of Natural History--library director Tom Baione--at Observatory. He will be talking about--and showing scores of amazing illustrations from!--a variety of rarely seen illustrated books residing in the museum's research library special collections as explored in his new book Natural Histories: Extraordinary ?Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library?. We will also have twenty copies of this gorgeous book--which  features forty suitable-for-framing art prints of images from the book--available for sale and signing by Mr. Baione!

Full details follow. Hope very much to see you there!

Natural Histories: Extraordinary ?Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library: Illustrated lecture and Book Release Party with Tom Baione of New York’s American Museum of Natural History
Date: Thursday, January 10

Time: 8:00 PM
Admission: $5
Presented by Morbid Anatomy
*** Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing

Most people are well acquainted with the front-stage wonders of New York's American Museum of Natural History--the world class habitat group dioramas, the highly stylized hall of biodiversity, the epic dinosaur skeletons; what is less well known is the equally astounding back-stage collection, which includes an world-renowned collection of exquisite, rare, and beautifully illustrated books on the natural sciences held by museum's research library. The new book Natural Histories: Extraordinary ?Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library?, edited by AMNH's Tom Baione, brings these hidden works to the fore, showcasing forty extraordinary works created between the 16th and 20th centuries, covering all seven continents, and spanning such diverse scientific fields as anthropology, astronomy, earth science,? paleontology, and zoology. The book also features essays about each work by Museum curators, scientists, and librarians, as well as forty extraordinary, suitable-for-framing art prints of images from the book.

In tonight's highly illustrated lecture, join American Museum of Natural History's Boeschenstein Director of? Library Services and volume editor Tom Baione for a look inside the Natural Histories... and a virtual trip behind the scenes of the Library's Rare Book Room. Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase--and have signed!--their own copy of this gorgeous new volume.

Tom Baione, a Brooklyn native, started working in the Museum's Library in 1995 ?after attending Pratt Institute's School of Library and Information? Science. After years in the Library's Special Collections and Reference ?Services units, Tom became the Library's Director in 2010. He is an active? member of New York's Grolier Club and lives in midtown with his high?school sweetheart. The Museum was his favorite childhood destination and he still reports a thrill upon entering the museum each day.

Raccoon Head Taxidermy Class with Rogue Taxidermist Katie Innamorato, Saturday, February 9

We at Morbid Anatomy are so excited to be offering a new taxidermy class with rogue taxidermist Katie Innamorato. We have only two slots still available for this five person intensive; if interested, please shoot an email to morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com.

Full details follow:

Raccoon Head Taxidermy Class with Rogue Taxidermist Katie Innamorato
Date: Saturday, February 9

Time: 11 – 5 PM
Admission: $350
***Must RSVP to morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com to be addedt; 5 person limit
This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

This course will introduce students to basic and fundamental taxidermy techniques and procedures. Students will be working with donated raccoon skins and will be going through the steps to do a head mount. The class is only available to 5 students, allowing for more one on one interaction and assistance. Students will be working with tanned and lightly prepped skin; there will be no skinning of the animals in class. This is a great opportunity to learn the basic steps to small and large mammal taxidermy. All materials will be supplied by the instructor, and you will leave class with your own raccoon head mount.

Rogue taxidermist Katie Innamorato has a BFA in sculpture from SUNY New Paltz, has been featured on the hit TV show "Oddities," and has had her work featured at La Luz de Jesus gallery in Los Angeles, California. She is self and professionally taught, and has won multiple first place ribbons and awards at the Garden State Taxidermy Association Competition. Her work is focussed on displaying the cyclical connection between life and death and growth and decomposition. Katie is a member of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists, and with all M.A.R.T. members she adheres to strict ethical guidelines when acquiring specimens and uses roadkill, scrap, and donated skins to create mounts.

Eros and Thanatos at Milan’s Cimetero Monumentale: "Dedizione: Don’t Tell Anyone The Cause of my Death," Funerary Monument, Piero da Verona, 1914

On a recent trip to Italy with Evan Michelson--co-star of TV's "Oddities" and Morbid Anatomy Library scholar in residence--we paid an impromptu, jet-lagged visit to the wonderful Cimetero Monumentale in Milan. We were both struck by the over-the-top--and, for a cemetery, odd--sexiness of so many of its funeral monuments, particularly the one shown above. I was trying to get to the bottom of this peculiar phenomenon when I came across the following lengthy discussion of the very monument in the book Italian Memorial Sculpture 1820-1940: A Legacy of Love; As it is quite fascinating, I quote it here in its entirety here:

Milan has one of the most enigmatic of erotic monuments. Conceived by Piero da Verona ... for Maria Beruccinia in 1914, it is subtitled Dedizione and inscribed 'Non dire ad alcuno perché sona morta' ... Dedizione translates as "devotion' in English, but in Italian its earlier meaning was 'surrender' or 'submission' and, by extension, 'self sacrifice.' Our curiosity is further incited by the inscrutable inscription 'Don't tell anyone why I'm dead' or, more liberally, 'Don't tell anyone the cause of my death.' The particular kind of graceful femininity was preceded in the works of Canonica and of Domenico Trentacoste... Da Verona must also have been receptive to the sensuality of the 'Genoese Symbolist School"... while the pose may specifically reflect contemporary photography, ranging from artistic poses to soft pornography.... One's immediate reaction is to ask what on earth a sculpture like this is doing in a cemetery. Is there malice in its presence there or in the eye of the beholder?

Evan and I will be returning to Italy in mid-February to finish our project, so expect many more posts like this one. And please--if anyone knows of any must-see Italian Catholica or Anatomica that we should make sure to work into our itinerary, shoot me an email at morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com!

This book, and many other books like it, resides in The Morbid Anatomy Library. The library will be open to the public next Saturday from 2-6. Image is ©Joanna Ebenstein, 2012; click to see larger, more detailed version.Source:
