Cabinet of Curiosities – An Exhibition of Analogue Images – POSTPONED

Cabinets of Curiosities, also called Wunderkammer or wonder rooms, originated in the mid 16th century as collections of mysterious items of significance; oddities, relics, antiquities, archaeological or geological finds, anything that fascinated and inspired scientific or artistic exploration. They reflected the interests and thought processes of the people who collected and put objects on display. Cabinets of Curiosities were the precursors to modern museums; private collections became public as scientific study evolved, and people could discover wondrous objects they had never before seen.

This group exhibition aims to bring together a collection of objects that the artists find fascinating. These images have been produced using different analogue photographic processes, some dating back to the 1840s. The hands on approach to image making allows these artists to create objects that are imbued with their spirit and emotion, and put on display for the curious to discover.
