Links between artworks, including works from QAGOMA’s Collection are illuminated. Discover the fascinating stories behind artists from the past through to Michael Zavros and eX de Medici.
The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the presenter.
SESSION 2 LECTURE: INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VENICE BIENNALE
In this session we will contemplate the cabinets of curiosities prevalent in early modern European courts. These predecessors of modern museums were encyclopaedic in scope, with paintings and sculptures displayed alongside scientific instruments and preserved plants and animals. Within this framework tiny creatures such as insects and simple flowers became protagonists of still life paintings and beyond. What do these collections and paintings, as microcosms of the 17th century world, tell us today? We will consider the artwork of eX de Medici, whose exhibition ‘Beautiful Wickedness’ teems with moths, guns, and skulls, and critiques mechanisms of control and display.
