A performance lecture in conjunction with the current IMSS exhibition “We Will Survive as Hybrids”.
"This project plumbs the depths of the aesthetic and conceptual aspects of the “Grotesque”: a sacred place of intersection between visual culture and the depths of the subconscious.
I am embracing the Grotesque as embodiment of creation and procreation, the Renaissance wonder and vitality along with the Feminist corporeal sensibility. I consistently re-enact the world being born: the moment of birth, of delivery. Emulating the biological: morphology, deformity, through wonders of technology and mediation. Joy of delivery. Empowerment of a Cyborg." -�Galina Schevchenko

Trephination involves the drilling of a circular h

Trephination involves the drilling of a circular hole in the skull. The practice could be found all across the world and spans across 10,000 years up to the 20th century. Trephinations have been performed for a variety of reasons both physical and spiritual, including to relieve chronic pain as well as to perform magic rites. The Inca engaged in trephinations, as illustrated in the painting here.

Anesthesia had not been perfected, but some civilizations utilized plants with anesthetic properties. The Inca, for example, used cacao leaves as a local anesthetic. Civilizations without this knowledge, such as Europe in the Middle Ages, had a higher mortality rate than those with it.

The hole remains in one’s skull until death, though some potential bone regrowth is possible if the patient survives. Both the holes and regrowth can be seen on skulls held in the Museum.

Smallpox is over 3,000 years old, and extremely da

Smallpox is over 3,000 years old, and extremely dangerous–3 out of every 10 people who got it died. The disease was at its peak in 18th century Europe, 400,000 people died annually of smallpox, and between 65–80% of survivors were marked with deep pitted scars. Jenner’s 1796 discovery of cowpox and smallpox’s crossover immunity made the creation of a smallpox vaccine a reality. Simultaneously, multiple outbreaks of smallpox occurred across the Spanish colonies. So, a frustrated King Charles IV of Spain (who had recently lost his daughter to the disease), commissioned an expedition that would introduce Jenner’s vaccine to the Spanish colonies. Entitled the Balmis Expedition, for its lead physician, Francisco Xavier de Balmis, this was the first philanthropic vaccination expedition and large scale mass vaccination of its kind. For the 1803 expedition, Dr. Balmis brought nurses, first-aid practitioners, surgeons, and 22 orphans. As this was 19th century medicine, there was no way to transport the live smallpox vaccination, so the orphans were all inoculated. The matter from their resulting pustules was then used to vaccinate thousands of people from Puerto Rico to the Philippines. In the Spanish Mural Gallery on the fourth floor of the International Museum of Surgical Science, a painting depicts Balmis vaccinating in the Americas.
