The twisted and the macabre will have a new residence in London. Mike of Black Rat Projects has a new endeavor he is starting, The Museum of Curiosity. Mike is known for his gallery and love of art, but he is also a collector of the weird and not so common. I am told the theme of the museum will be an interpretation of the Wunderkammern of renaissance Europe which the wealthy put together consisting of odds and ends from around the globe. This sounds the homes of many collectors and artists I know actually.
Now a Museum of Curiosity is just what you would think. In it’s walls and halls you will find dead things stuffed, skeletons, bones, eyeballs, teeth, devices, and more obscure artifacts that look like they could be in Dr. Frankenstein’s study. Something for everyone I think with a fancy for the odd.
We cant forget Mike’s love of art, because he will also be displaying works by Swoon, Candice Tripp, Butch Anthony, Oskar Rink, Giles Walker, Delaney Martin, Jessica Harrison, Tessa Farmer and Nancy Fouts to name a few. This could also be called The Museum of Badass Stuff I think.
The Museum opens Nov. 8 and then to the public Nov. 9 at
Pertwee, Anderson & Gold Gallery,
15 Bateman St.
Soho, London, W1D 3AQ
