In 1938, doctors Eric Guttmann and Walter Maclay, two psychiatrists based at the Maudsley Hospital in London, administered the hallucinogenic drug mescaline to a group of artists, asking the participants to record their experiences visually. These artists included the painter Julian Trevelyan, who was associated with the British surrealist movement at this time. Published as 'Mescaline hallucinations in artists', the research took place at a crucial time for psychiatry, as the discipline was beginning to edge its way into the scientific arena. Newly established, the Maudsley Hospital received Jewish émigrés from Germany to join its ranks. Sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, this group of psychiatrists brought with them an enthusiasm for psychoactive drugs and visual media in the scientific study of psychopathological states. In this case, Guttmann and Maclay enlisted the help of surrealist artists, who were harnessing hallucinogens for their own revolutionary aims. Looking behind the images, particularly how they were produced and their legacy today, tells a story of how these groups cooperated, and how their overlapping ecologies of knowledge and experience coincided in these remarkable inscriptions.

Julian Trevelyan、Walter Maclay 和 Eric Guttmann：在 Maudsley 医院画精神病学和艺术之间的界限

1938 年，伦敦莫兹利医院的两名精神病学家埃里克·古特曼 (Eric Guttmann) 和沃尔特·麦克莱 (Walter Maclay) 向一群艺术家服用了致幻药物美斯卡林，要求参与者用视觉记录他们的经历。这些艺术家包括当时与英国超现实主义运动有关的画家朱利安·特里维良 (Julian Trevelyan)。该研究发表为“艺术家的梅斯卡林幻觉”，是在精神病学的关键时刻进行的，因为该学科开始进入科学领域。新成立的莫兹利医院接收了来自德国的犹太移民加入其行列。在洛克菲勒基金会的赞助下，这群精神病学家在精神病理学状态的科学研究中带来了对精神药物和视觉媒体的热情。在这种情况下，Guttmann 和 Maclay 寻求超现实主义艺术家的帮助，他们利用致幻剂实现自己的革命目标。看看这些图像的背后，特别是它们的制作方式和今天的遗产，讲述了这些群体如何合作的故事，以及他们重叠的知识和经验生态如何在这些非凡的铭文中重合。
