Abstract

Artistic practices are increasingly used by and integrated into the management of cultural heritage. In the chapter the author explores the associations made between mental health and artistic creativity, as well as the inclusion of contemporary art and artistic practices in sites with a complex history, such as former psychiatric hospitals. The article is based on a research project about the redevelopment of UllerÃ¥ker, a former psychiatric hospital in Sweden. Photographic practices in abandoned sites, patientsâ art, artistic interventions in the Museum of Medical History, as well as the pre-study work by artist Camille Norment and the public artwork by Lies-Marie Hoffman, are discussed in relation to heritage management and the concept of third-time. The article shows how artistic practices in UllerÃ¥ker and similar sites, such as Beckomberga and Lillhagen, have in different ways helped to negotiate time as well as complex histories, when the sites are deinstitutionalised and turned into offices and housing.
