Working in Wonder

“Working in Wonder,” a group exhibition, curated by Erin Gray, Danielle Schallom, and Edward Stapley-Brown, will be on view at The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University from January 18 through February 11, 2011.  “Working in Wonder” includes artwork in various media by artists that have been inspired by the Curiosity Cabinet, a historical era of collecting occurring between 1500 and 1700.  The exhibit explores the connection between man-made and natural objects or artificialia and naturalia.

Participating artists include: Lasse Antonsen, Paul Baumann,  Kathy Goodell, Tracy Heneberger, Heidi Jensen, Susan Napack, Roberto Osti, Lisa Perrin, Michael Sherwin, Paul Stout, David K. Thompson, Bill Westheimer and Kimberly Witham.  “Working in Wonder is an excellent example of the art historical impact of the curiosity cabinet seen through the contemporary art on display,” explained curators Erin Gray, Danielle Schallom, and Edward Stapley-Brown.   A full color catalogue will be available at the gallery.
