The Wunderkammer: Curiosities in Indiana University Collections: Noon Talk

12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Grunwald Gallery of Art
http://indiana.edu/~grunwald/exhibitions.php?pid=the-wunderkammer-curiosities-in-indiana-university-collections

The Grunwald Gallery of Art at Indiana University is pleased to announce “The Wunderkammer: Curiosities in Indiana University Collections.” This exhibition will open Friday, October 23, and continue through Wednesday, November 18. An opening reception will be held on Friday, October 23, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Grunwald Gallery. A series of noon talks will be presented by the curators and collection managers of several special collections on Friday, October 30, and Friday, November 6, in the Grunwald Gallery.

“The Wunderkammer” highlights the practice of private and institutional collecting of art, artifacts, specimens, and objects through the special collections on Indiana University’s campus that are not typically seen by the average visitor. Indiana University has a number of well-known collections on public display, including the IU Art Museum and the Lilly Library. But there are other collections that are often overlooked or unknown to most visitors, such as the Department of Biology’s Herbarium, The Elizabeth Sage Costume Collection, and the University Archives, among many others.

The public museums at Indiana University are easily accessible and often feature objects from their collections that are the most well-known, valuable, and historically and culturally important. However, each collection also contains items that are unusual or non-traditional, which the public rarely sees. It is in the context of the Wunderkammer that we display these items, as a cabinet of curiosities similar to the traditional collections amassed by individuals in the sixteenth century. This tradition continued well into the nineteenth century, with individuals collecting art, natural history specimens, cultural artifacts, and ephemera, and there is a resurgence of interest in this today.

Special collections at IU were invited to partner with the Grunwald Gallery to select unusual or non-traditional items for the exhibit. Because of this focus, the information about how these objects came to be part of these collections is as important as the items themselves. This exhibit addresses the psychological motivations behind both institutional and private collecting, why and how special collections end up with unusual items, the stories that these unusual items have to tell, and the information and background they add that may not be obvious in more celebrated works. Some objects in the exhibit include Herman B Wells’ handmade underwear from the Elizabeth Sage Costume Collection; a petrified hen’s egg from 1835 trapped inside the walls of the Wylie House Museum; the original 1955 Relax-A-cizor device from the Kinsey Institute Collections; and Diana Ross’s lunchbox and gold record from the film Bustin’ Loose from the Archives of African American Music and Culture, to name only a few.

Collections that will be represented are the Archives for African American Music and Culture, The Herbarium and Zoology Collections in the Department of Biology, The Black Film Center Archives, Campus Collections, the Indiana University Art Museum, the Glenn Black Laboratory, The Kinsey Institute, The Mathers Museum of World Cultures, The Elizabeth Sage Costume Collection, The University Archives, and The Wylie House Museum.

This exhibit and corresponding programs were made possible by the participating institutions and the Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University.

For further information, please contact the Grunwald Gallery at 812-855-8490 or [email protected]. We invite you to visit our website at indiana.edu/~grunwald/. The Grunwald Gallery is accessible to people with disabilities. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, noon – 4 p.m.; closed Sunday and Monday. All events are free and open to the public.

365247•2012


Grunwald Gallery of Art
http://www.indiana.edu/~grunwald

The Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University is pleased to announce 24/7/365 a video work by Kevin O. Mooney. This exhibition will open Friday, October 23 and continue through Wednesday, November 18, 2015. An opening reception will be held on Friday, October 23 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Grunwald Gallery. Kevin O. Mooney will give a gallery talk about 24/7/365 on Friday, November 13 at 12 noon in the Grunwald Gallery.

365247•2012 is a time-based piece created by Kevin O. Mooney. Rooted in still photography, the work is presented as a video projection. The more than 250,000 still images, presented as a photographic stop-motion animation, allow the viewer to witness the artist’s day-to-day routines, the same activities that are experienced by many on a daily basis. When interacting with the piece, the past and future are viewed simultaneously. Ultimately, a year in the artist’s life is presented in under an hour, offering others the opportunity to vicariously participate and find meaning in mundane activities while also reexamining their own unrecognized minutes, hours and days.

Mooney states: “I have been fascinated with self-portraiture since the mid-seventies. I began photographing myself as an undergraduate student while attending Southern Illinois University in the cinema & photography program. Throughout my career as a commercial/editorial photographer, I continued to do self-portraits, often with the subjects that I photographed for a specific assignment or job, primarily as a record of who I had photographed, especially if the person was famous. I then decided to challenge myself by making a photographic self-portrait every day for an entire year. When 1997 was over I continued with the daily self-portrait, incorporating it into my daily routine, and do so to this day.”

For further information, please contact the Grunwald Gallery at (812) 855-8490 or [email protected]. We invite you to visit our website at http://www.indiana.edu/~grunwald/. The Grunwald Gallery is accessible to people with disabilities. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, noon – 4:00 pm, closed Sunday and Monday. All events are free and open to the public.
