Opening 10/2, 7:00pm in the windows of our gallery, 209 Monticello Rd.
This October, The Gallery of Curiosities returns once again to The Bridge to showcase a collection of bizarre, fanciful, nonsensical, ill-defined and creative objects collected and curated by some of the region’s most intriguing artists and collectors. Part art and part oddity, this exhibition is a deep-dive into the peculiar parts of our community’s collective creative mind. The Gallery of Curiosities is an intimate look at the delightful weirdness lurking among us. The exhibition will be on display through the month of October, day and night, in the windows of our gallery at 209 Monticello Rd.
What will be included?
-All things created or collected intentionally or accidentally.
-All things natural, unnatural, supernatural, othernatural, subnatural, and exo-natural.
-All things undefined, under-defined, and ill-defined.
-All things from other times and/or other realities.
-All things that challenge and critique the history of the early American museum, Racist Science, the pillaging of cultural objects, and a singular understanding of oddity/normality.
