In the sciences and in the social sciences, scholars use quantitative and qualitative methods to gather evidence about the world. They categorize, count, and measure, but they also interpret their observations by analyzing texts, by speaking to people for whom an object or a phenomenon might have a special significance or meaning, and then by relying upon their own perceptions to make sense of what they’ve discovered. Within the visual arts, artists also count and measure, they interpret, too, and the objects that they’ve collected and interpreted and observed can offer profound understandings of the commonplace, the bizarre, and the beautiful.
“Cabinets of Wonders,” from the German word, Wuderkammer, evokes practices of collecting and arranging and interpreting that were common in Europe during the Enlightenment, when scientists, social scientists, and artists arranged and collected in ways that were both empirical and romantic. We encourage artists whose creative choices are implied in their presentations and/or finished works. For this exhibition, we seek artists who ask themselves why these particular objects, arranged in these ways, and for what purpose? This exhibition invites a dialogue, an experience like conversation, between the artists and the audience, all of us still striving to comprehend our world.
