Museum-Listers,
The following is sent for reasons of curating electronics
and electromagnetic artworks in relation to older artifacts
of earlier mediums. Tonight is the opening and so the idea
of also having a partial (improvised) online opening for
those who are not living within an hour of the show made
some sense, to share the ideas, or so it is hoped. Therefore
if you have a chance, please visit the following URL and
read the curatorial statement at the bottom, and also visit
the larger show to see the range of ideas presented in a
common context, which could apply to integrating new
works within earlier, more traditional, and vast collections.
Please join the event soon underway in nearby Minnesota:
STATE OF THE ART: MAPS, STORIES, GAMES AND
ALGORITHMS FROM MINNESOTA. Curated by Steve Dietz.

if URL is broken try this one:

else:
Stories of Electromagnetism: Displays of Curiosity

This is a mixture of hands-on displays and encased works,
many discards from libraries or cultural ephemera such as
newspaper cartoons and story clippings, postcards and such.
Besides the vacuum tube radio, it seems people find interest
in being able to investigate an old mainframe harddrive and
8" floppy drive, now extinct, there are also brochures for
classes, museums, other earlier/related exhibits, books and
other artworks, advertising, crossing referencing one another.
And, if okay to imagine, it was conceived of through learning
of the 'wunderkammer' from the curator, and my own fascination
with the Sir John Soane approach to architecture & archaeology.
Feedback on or off-list is appreciated. Hope you can visit the show,
as the curator was kind enough to let me explore curating this idea.
