..."Writing Art Cinema 1988-2010 startles and provokes on a first examination, and promises to continue to do so on many subsequent readings. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in the integration of art and criticism."

Weird and Wonderful [exerpt]

In a unique cultural exchange, Conduit Gallery hosts a “chamber of wonders.”

Jaded arts cognoscenti, step right up, especially if you think you’ve seen and done it all. Kindly adjust your expectations to make room for Wunderkammer, a likenothing- you’ve-ever-seen exhibition of artistic curiosities that’s transforming Conduit Gallery into a “chamber of wonders” from July 9 through Aug. 31. A collaborative show curated by Phillip March Jones, director of Institute 193 in Lexington, Ky., in conjunction with Conduit ownerr Nancy Whitenack and assistant director Danette Dufilho, the exhibition features art from seven Dallas-area artists, along with works from 10 or more Lexington-area artists. “It made sense for us to do a collaborative exchange,” Jones explains. “I’m bringing a whole slew of artists from my region and interests, and choosing artists who Conduit currently works with and putting them all into this wunderkammer, this curio chamber. … I’m interested in artists who aren’t motivated by the market, but by something else, whether it be cultural expression or personal expression.”

The wunderkammer (German for “chamber of wonders”) is a centuries-old concept, dating back to the European Renaissance. A precursor to the museum, a wunderkammer was a collection of curiosities culled from the disparate worlds of natural history, geology, archaeology, antiquity and art. As a metaphor, it’s a perfect fit for Jones’ mission. “Back then, noblemen were trying to find, collect and gather things that hadn’t really been defined,” the 30-year-old notes. “In a way, that’s what I’m doing in Lexington with Institute 193, working with emerging artists who are doing things that are new and interesting, and who have this aesthetic sense that deals with the convergence of nature, science and the fine arts. This show is about the quality of the idea; it’s about an experience.”
