26 April - 7 October 2023

For the first time, contemporary art will be presented on the premises of the historic wax models at the Josephinum. Together with the Shariat Collections, the Josephinum is showing a selection of works by the French-Senegalese artist Alexandre Diop. Art historical references, human anatomy and an independent artistic strategy enter into a dialogue with the objects of the 18th century.

Since its founding in 1785, the Josephinum has housed the collection of anatomical wax models that Joseph II had made for the founding of the Military Surgical Academy in Florence. On the one hand, the collection served as illustrative material for teaching, on the other hand, it was already accessible to the public at that time. As didactically valuable teaching aids, the wax preparations are supplemented with colored drawings and descriptions in Italian and German. Most of the wax models have been preserved today and are presented in seven rooms in the original display cases in their historical setting.

Emerging contemporary artist Alexandre Diop lives in Vienna and studies painting at the Academy of Fine Arts with Daniel Richter. Diop's works move between painting, sculpture and relief. He combines a wide variety of materials in his works. Latex, textiles, wood, books, papers, photos, strings, nails and animal fibers combine to form "object images".
