IS 370 Museum Project by Teresa Barz https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k Art - Kunstkammer en-us 2020-12-05 02:37:41 UTC 2026-02-04 10:20:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction tbarz1 https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989754851 The year 2020 brought an era of uncertainty, isolation, and imagination. Our understanding of time has become warped under this mass, ever-lengthening quarantine. Hope is something that must be regularly rebuilt. This time period has led to many trends of escapism as the population tries to distract itself from the claustrophobic reality it has found itself trapped within.

The concept of the Kunstkammer follows that of a "cabinet of curiosities." In the 16th century, it was popular among European elite to create personal collections as a symbol of wealth and status. Such collections often showed off naturalia, products of nature, arteficialia, products of man, and scientifica, items that showed man's mastery over nature and the elements.

This exhibition follows a similar theme. Here is a showing of stolen moments in the outside world. There is a sense of pride and ego in the collection that echoes that of the original Kunstkammer. Not in the pieces' physical ownership, but in the victory of sharing some secret sacred memory. To visit an exhibition in the middle of a pandemic is a risk. Hidden behind masks, one wanders through the empty rooms as a cautious ghost in a no longer familiar world. The memories are retold like photographs taken carefully to omit the shadow of someone just out of frame. These objects capture the beauty found in rebellion. This collection is meant to help one step out of reality, just for a moment, and escape in wonder of artifacts time left unforgotten.]]> 2020-12-05 04:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989754851 East Wall (Adjacent to Entrance) tbarz1 https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989790210 2020-12-05 05:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989790210 St. Francis Contemplating a Skull tbarz1 https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989791549 Francisco de Zurbarán, Spanish, 1598–1664.

This clock was constructed with mahogany, a material also popular for caskets. Time is an uncertain construct, especially now. It is important not to get detached from this. Just as all of our lives are constricted by time, life during the pandemic remains restricted by choices made for and against the safety of others. ]]> 2020-12-05 05:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989800322 North Wall (Across from Entrance) tbarz1 https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989801424 2020-12-05 05:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989801424 Running Artemis tbarz1 https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989801724 Greek, c.900–31 BC

He focuses on the lifeboats, leaving the iconic ship in the distance. He captures the passengers' shared fight for survival. Vulnerable passengers such as women and children were made the priority, and those on the lifeboats had to work together to keep themselves alive. ]]> 2020-12-05 05:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989812141 Long Live Love or Charming Country tbarz1 https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/989813451 Max Ernst, German, 1891–1976.

With the outer world restricted, many spent their time imagining dreamscapes from the safety of their homes. For example, the concept of cottagecore. Many others also escaped and started reconnecting with nature. This painting by Ernst captures beauty found in an otherwise strange and barren landscape. The subjects are hidden away in a tree trunk, seemingly safe and peaceful but somewhat claustrophobic, much in the way many families have been forced together more closely.]]> 2020-12-06 21:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarz1/gp1h0v45jfk73x4k/wish/992222017
