For the curious (sic) among you: On Saturday, February 5th I will be presenting a short lecture as part of the very <\/span>intriguing looking \"Modern\/Contemporary Art and the Curiosity Cabinet\" conference hosted by Seton Hall University. Lawrence Weschler--author of one of my all time favorite books, Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder<\/a>--will be giving the keynote address on “A Natural History of Wonder;” my piece will examine the revival of private cabinets of curiosity as explored in my Private Cabinets photo series<\/a>, from which the above images are drawn. I will also talk a bit about my own Private Cabinet experiment, The Morbid Anatomy Library<\/a>.<\/p>

This event is free and open to the public. Full line up and schedule follows; hope to see you there!<\/p>
