Cabinets of Wonder: Manifesto
Through art and science, we aim to stimulate, inspire and make curious the viewer. This is a place to imagine and experience, ponder and wonder. Both reverie and deep contemplation are welcome as are furtive glances and downright stares.
The goal is to illuminate and edify by limiting the amount of accompanying text and instead to engage and spark the senses. Our aim is to open and highlight shifting perspectives and perceptions instead of generating fixed or highly (in)formed ones. Facts and background info are secondary to the questions generated. The more there are, the better.
Is this beautiful or ugly? Why?
Is this interesting or boring?
How are you seeing?
What are you seeing?
What does it remind you of?
What does it make you think about?
Is it real or imagined?
Whether shallow or deep, hopefully something here will manage to resonate in you well beyond our walls and beyond your time in our moment.
