In our age of oversaturation and undervaluation, curiosity is a scarce resource. What justification can we unearth to serve the impulse to collect, preserve, display, and care for the things around us? What’s the best antidote to a crisis of fungibility? Curio – from the Latin curiosus, meaning “careful” or “inquisitive” – assembles objects that respond to a straightforward yet fluid set of criteria: oddity, rarity, beauty.

Emerging from the conceptual echo of the Wunderkammer and Kunstkabinett, the exhibition advances a curatorial ethos of willful eclecticism and idiosyncratic devotion – timely implements against the slog of overproduction that surrounds and drowns us.
