In the organizer's words:
What do we see in museums? Displayed in glass cases and behind barriers, these objects appear, above all, static. Mirae kh Rhee explores how these objects came to be in their current locations. The artist questions who collects (or collected) what and why, and what messages are conveyed through collections of all kinds. Not least because of people’s mobility, objects in collections—just like those who created, noticed, preserved, and passed them on—have a turbulent history behind them!
Mirae kh Rhee is an interdisciplinary, research-based artist who works in Germany, California, and South Korea. Drawing on her own diasporic identity, she explores themes such as collecting practices and histories, forced migration, and cultural appropriation in her artistic work, and tells autoethnographic stories.
The current presentation is part of a long-term project that examines the concept of cabinets of curiosities from the perspective of transnational feminism and through decolonial approaches. In it, Mirae kh Rhee examines established narratives of collecting and takes a critical look at collecting practices between Europe and Asia. She analyzes elitist concepts of collecting that serve to demonstrate power and construct identity. Exhibition visitors are invited to reflect on their own practices of collecting.
