"Wünderkammer - The Wünderkammer portfolio is rooted in a Renaissance idea of collecting an assortment of objects that connect all aspects of human understanding This partitioned portfolio box holds three stacks of prints so that the dialog of the collaborative "triptych" changes as the images are seen in a variety of juxtapositions. This collection of prints aims to be an interactive microcosm in which the viewer participates in the "meaning" of the works by sorting diverse images in an experience that moves beyond the specific intentions and foresight of the artists. Curated and organized by Andrew DeCaen.
