A participant work in WUNDERKAMMER,
The inaugural show in Crystal Palace, Part 1.
Curator: Paul Ramirez Jonas
The Crystal Palace is a temporary exhibition space composed of cabinets made from the postal boxes that were formerly located in the basement of Sibley. It is inspired by the cabinets of curiosities (Wunderkammer) of the sixteenth century—precursors to museums—and by the Crystal Palace that housed the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851, a precursor to World Expos.
Despite their fraught relationship to colonialism and empire, these are some of the roots of our current ideas of exhibitions. They emphasized group participation; representation through images, objects, and artifacts; and the exchange of ideas. Formally, they also favored transparency and the use of glass.
