DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend a vernissage to celebrate the opening
  of our newest exhibition\, Materia Medica\, Wednesday\, December 13\, 201
 7 at 5:30pm.\n\nRSVP required. TO RSVP\, please click here.\n\nOver the co
 urse of a year\, visual artist Loren Williams combined artifacts from the 
 Osler collection with collected and created traces of Montreal’s medical p
 ast. Williams followed charted streets and routes that link Montreal’s pas
 t and present. Using epidemiological maps\, she explored the sites and nei
 ghbourhoods of the city’s devastating outbreaks of Typhus\, Cholera\, Smal
 l Pox and Tuberculosis.  Other plans of the city led her to sites of hospi
 tals\, asylums and the longest duel in Canadian history over the building 
 of a new hospital.\n\nLike the collected plants that echo an early botanic
 al pharmacy\, Loren Williams also collected and created other traces of me
 dical history.  X-rays and teeth molds reveal the body’s structures\, frac
 tures and medical interventions. First aid kits and their compartments dou
 ble as garden plans for medicinal plants\, while hospital architecture is 
 represented in the form of postcards the shape of library index cards.\n\n
 These works\, presented with artifacts from the Osler Library collection\,
  bring together images and objects from the realm of science\, art and eve
 ryday life\, offering an eclectic\, less rational\, interconnected perspec
 tive of Montreal’s medical history. \n\nRead more...\n\nWe acknowledge the
  support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, which last year invested $15
 3 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country.\n	Nous rem
 ercions le Conseil des arts du Canada de son soutien. L’an dernier\, le Co
 nseil a investi 153 millions de dollars pour mettre de l’art dans la vie d
 es Canadiennes et des Canadiens de tout le pays.\n
