“A Story of Two Museums: An Ethnographic Exhibition” Exhibition
CUNY Graduate Center
This event has ended.
The Museum of American Art, Berlin, and The Museum of Jurassic Technology, Los Angeles, are both concerned with the histories of museums as well as the varieties of paths to knowledge. Exhibiting artifacts that cross disciplines of history, art, anthropology, and literature, the museums inherently question those disciplines: The Museum of American Art’s activities engage with specific chapters from the history of modern art, and The Museum of Jurassic Technology holds a specialized repository of relics and artifacts evoking some of the more obscure and poetic aspects of natural history and the history of technology and science. A mix of objects from their collections as well as outside materials present an alternate, ethnographic study of human artistry and ingenuity.
