WUNDERKAMMER

DIALOGUE about Wunderkammer / Cabinet of Curiosities

International Contemporary Artcolony Cered (H) – Sculptor’s House – 2024.

The installation Wunderkammer was created in collaboration and dialogue between two authors, Jozef Suchoža and Eszter Palik, as a conceptual envirionment. The dialogue was about the male-female relationship in today’s society and its stereotypes and function. Some of the works in the installation were created using the classic strategy of sculpture-object and manipulated ready-made. Everyday objects have been transformed and given new contexts and new meaning.

The works of art were largely created for the Sculptor’s House in Artcolony Cered. The two main authors and conceptual designers treated the whole building as a Wunderkammer. They also initiated a creative dialogue with each other. They also responded to each other’s work throughout the artists’ residency, and in the end this was the most important aspect of the exhibition’s organisation.
