From the Curatorial Text:
”The Impossible Museum is an exploration of the Thomas McCulloch Museum’s history and collection through the lens of contemporary art. Two Atlantic-based artists, D’Arcy Wilson and Amy Malbeuf, were invited to reimagine the museum’s permanent display through artworks that question, critique, and recontextualize the contents of this 19th century collection. Typical of this era, the natural artifacts in this museum are displayed through Audubon-style dioramas, an aesthetic practice that exemplifies the scientific, social and political values which dominated the Western world in the late 19th century. Among the museum’s glass cases, some artworks are lodged between artifacts, some are discreet or almost hidden, and others vine across the display boxes or among specimens.”
