Wunderkammer : Kasia Kay Art Projects : Chicago : December 2007

I have a solo show entitled Wunderkammer up this winter at Kasia Kay Art Projects. The show runs from November 30th to December 29th, 2007.

The opening was on Friday the 30th and went really well, with big crowds all night and many nice comments on the work.

Below is an excerpt from the press release:

In Wunderkammer, Kendler re-imagines the Naturalist of the past through the lens of modern ecology and environmentalism. If the Naturalist of the 18th and 19th centuries sought to lay personal claim to the natural world and contain it in a specimen cabinet or book of prints, Kendler presents her room of intimate drawings and sculpture as a definitive counterpoint to the view of nature as something to be possessed. Her delicate work suggests instead that it is we who are possessed by nature.

Also, check out this Wikipedia article for some more info on the fascinating topic of wunderkammern or "cabinets of curiosities".
