WUNDERKAMMER starting June 28th
Inspired by historical cabinets of art and curiosities (Wunderkammern), the exhibition explores the question of what still amazes us today. Wunderkammern (cabinets of curiosities) were encyclopedic universal collections by princes and wealthy citizens of the Renaissance. The unique and rare, the extraordinary and outstanding but also the rare, strange and curious were deemed worth showing. This is also reflected in the members’ exhibition with works by 39 artists: inviting and colorful, playful and cheerful but also irritating and surprising, mysterious and thought-provoking. A daring endeavor back then, the claim to represent the world is an illusion in our global and multimedia present. Nevertheless, it is always appealing to invent and interpret the world(s) with the means of art to present these reflections in an exhibition.
