In the history of medicine, if you are a white male, congratulations! You could enrol in any courses of the medical school at any time since the beginning of time. In the history of medicine, if you are a white male, congratulations! All the medical achievements before the 1990s are based on the studies of you and your body. In the history of medicine, if you are a white male, congratulations! The university medical history museum will represent a history narrative that benefits your bodies and your bodies alone. 200 years of western medical history fails to mention Indian, Chinese, Egyptian and Indigenous medicine in the medical history museum. In the history of medicine, if you are a white male, congratulations! You could drink champagne and wear jewels during critical medical procedures. Even though you have been involved in five lawsuits including plagiarism and murder, your caricature figurine will still be presented in the university Medical History Museum.

Thesis Statement Although named “Medical History Museum", the collection itself represents a white-male-centric historical narrative, there is a responsibility for an institution such as the museum to not bring this problematic prejudice into the future. Inspired by the item study of Caricature figurine of James George Beaney, this project intends to introduce satirical techniques into spatial design, specifically, looking up to three strategies, incongruity, exaggeration and symbolism, to emphasize the absurdity within the current collection, urging reflection for visitors to not only think about what is on display, but also what is not.

1 Collection why am i talking about "WHITE MALE"? This thesis project is to urge people to reflect on the absurdities within the knowledge that they are familiar with. Although titled "diverse and varied", the current University Medical History Museum is mostly representing White Males contributors. "White" and "Male" are two privileged features in medical history, and this project is introducing these two features as a metaphor to urging visitors to reflect about the sexism and racism within the current medical history museum.

1.1 "WHITE" A significant portion of the collection consists of artefacts from the last two centuries of western medical history. There is a void of the medical history of ancient Indian, Mesopotamians, Egypt and China, particularly Australian Indigenous medicine. Granted, there were some special exhibitions to expand the variety of its collections, but the permanent collection’s lack of artefacts outside the west constitutes an erasure. While the “void” in this collection may have occurred because of the collecting history, there is a responsibility for an institution such as the museum to not bring this problematic prejudice into the future university collections, studies or exhibits.

1.2 "MALE" Sex bias is extreme in the medical industry, both education opportunities and medical study. In the University of Melbourne, women were admitted to Melbourne Medical School in 1887, fully 25 years after the course had commenced. The earliest gender-biased diagnosing can be found as early as 4000 years ago, the disproportionate diagnosis of women with hysteria(2). Most medical studies were done on men, according to traditional medical development, discussions and studies about women's health were neglected. Research indicates that “Up until virtually the 1990s, male Caucasians were used exclusively to represent anatomical bodies, with female bodies appearing only in fragments to represent their sexual organs.” (3) The current "medical history museum" collection is most reprenting the medical history from 1800 to 2000, a medical history based on the medical studies of male Caucasians by male Caucasians.

James George Beaney James is a flamboyant character, who was well known for wearing jewels during the operation and holding champagne parties afterwards. He is involved in the first Australian published medical textbook, the first benefactor to the Medical School at the University, but also invilved in four remarkable inquests on patients dying after surgical operations, including a illegal abortion.

"Medical History" in 1860s James George Beaney became popular among the media because of his flamboyant character. He was well known for wearing jewels during the operation and holding champagne parties afterwards. His character is an extreme compression of the image of doctors in the 1860s. Western medicine was at the fast-developing stage after the invention of the microscope around the 1650s. Advanced western medicine knowledge just started to be widely introduced into practice worldwide in the 1800s. Western medicine doctors were rare. Plus, Australian national medical care was not well-developed, doctors got well paid by their patients. So doctors were seen as a well educated and wealthy application, and becoming an upper-class career choice. There was a time when medical students were all white males, which is a phenomenon that can tell from the archive Melbourne Medical School photos in the Medical History Museum collection.

Caricature Figurine This caricature figurine captures a unique image of this figure by exaggerating its physical appearance, juxtaposing a formal suit and inserting symbolic items, jewels and Champaign, into this artwork. The caricature is one of the Satirical forms of picturing a physiologically impossible figure with an aggressive attitude, amusing viewers with malicious pleasure. Three main techniques in caricature art are exaggeration, Incongruity and Symbolic. Exaggeration is to exaggerate its symbolic features and simplified irrelevant ones--Dr Beaney’s body type, hair and beard style. Incongruity aims to defeat the opponent on his ground by pretending to accept his methods of reasoning, to expose their implicit absurdity-Dr Beaney’s unbalanced scale with a formal frock coat. The symbolic technique within caricature is juxtaposing “the seen” and “the known” --Dr Beaney’s jewels and champagne.

Caricature Introducing three techniques from caricature, exaggeration, incongruity and symbolic, into museum design, to emphasise the racism and sexcism in museum collections.

"Logic of Laughter" transforming a photo into a simple caricature image. You might be laughing about these images right now. But what if I tell you, I did not exaggerate anything, but I just traced them from archive photos of a patient who had been accepting some facial treatment in the 16th century? You would probably feel bad about yourself laughing about any of these images. You would not laugh about a French girl who has a French English accent, but you would laugh if I imitated a French accent. Based one Arthur Koestler's discussion in his book <the art of creation> (Koestler, 1964) We would laugh about something we know is not real, just an imitation. Another logic of laughter is we would laugh about something existing that defies our perception, for example, the duck building by Robert Venturi, when symbolic features of the architectural form are pushed to the extreme.

Beilharz P, Hogan T. Sociology : Place, Time & Division. Oxford University Press; 2006. Accessed March 27, 2021.

Back in 1970, the post-war world had a significantly increased demand for public housing and educational buildings. Plus, with the development of modernism, “Brutalism” as an era’s chosen one started trending worldwide from 1950 to 1970. Victoria, Australia is no exception. However, pretty soon, brutalism was disliked by critics because of its political meanings and its aesthetic. There are still around 20 brutalism buildings standing in the city of Melbourne. Most of them are educational and public buildings. At the University of Melbourne, there are five main brutalism spots. Uncoated, unpainted concrete monolithic forms are contributing memories on campus. The site, the old engineering block, is one of them.

Which is to symbolize all the other bodies is just a metaphor of this white male anatomy, urging visitors to reflect on the ideas of the "Universal Model".

Sex bias is extreme in the medical industry, both education opportunities and medical study. In the University of Melbourne, women were admitted to Melbourne Medical School in 1887, fully 25 years after the course had commenced. The earliest gender-biased diagnosing can be found as early as 4000 years ago, the disproportionate diagnosis of women with hysteria.
