Daniel Spoerri

One whole summer long, Daniel Spoerri is to transform the Heinrich-Sauermann-Haus on Flensburg's Museumsberg into his own personal Wunderkammer. Long before there were museums in the modern sense of the word, wealthy collectors liked to display eclectic assortments of curiosities, works of art and natural objects in Kunstkammer or Wunderkammer - cabinets of curiosities - in which viewers could marvel at the wonders of creation. The title of this show and catalogue, 'Historia Rerum Rariorum', is derived from just such a seventeenth-century Wunderkammer. It brings together a selection of Spoerri's works from the past two decades with a number of more recent pieces. 0Exhibition: Städtische Museen, Museumsberg Flensburg, Germany (27.4.-22.9.2013).
