- "American artist Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) has been celebrated internationally for his boxes, collages, and films since the 1930s. His mining of far-flung ideas and traditions and elegant integration of woodworking, painting, papering, and drawing define the innovation and visual poetry associated with his work. Above all, he forever altered the concept of the box--from a time-honored functional container into a new art form, the box construction.
"Although Cornell's exploration of art, culture, and science was highly personal, even spiritual, his goal as an artist was to inspire others to pursue uplifting voyages into the imagination. This exhibition is organized thematically to suggest his understanding of the imagination as an echo chamber where possibilities and connections can be discovered through subtle repetition and variation. Each thematic section mingles the series, media, and time frames in which he worked."
Launch an interactive site, "Navigating the Imagination", that offers video, audio, and text to explore and explain Cornell's amazing works. It's quite cool!
