SUMMARY:Kunstkammer | Group Exhibition at Lismore Castle Arts
DESCRIPTION:In 2025 Lismore Castle Arts will celebrate 20 years by presenti
 ng an exhibition dedicated to the theme of Kunstkammer\, curated by art hi
 storian & writer\, Robert O’Byrne.\n\nKunstkammer is a form of museum in
  which strange or rare objects are exhibited together\, also known as a Ca
 binet of Curiosities. Once widespread throughout Europe\, these private mu
 seums were renowned for featuring a broad range of objects\, including Art
 eficialia (products of man) and Naturalia (products of nature) together wi
 th scientific instruments\, clocks and automaton.\n\nPriceless works of ar
 t were shown alongside strange curiosities\, antiquities next to the lates
 t inventions. They were united in their diversity\, and their beauty. Kuns
 tkammer at Lismore Castle is both a re-creation and a reinvention of the g
 enre. Through a series of rooms\, each one different in size and form\, hi
 storical objects from private and public collections will share space with
  works by leading Irish and international contemporary artists.\n\nThe exh
 ibition creates new encounters with the familiar and uncanny\, inviting ti
 mely conversations about display\, collections\, and contemporary practice
  as the artefact of the future. Drawing on themes of display the work invi
 tes audiences to engage with contemporary art in an accessible way\, refer
 ring to one of the original ambitions of the Cabinet of Curiosity to foste
 r learning through encounter.\n\nRobert O’Byrne is one of Ireland’s be
 st known writers and lecturers specializing in the fine and decorative art
 s. A former Vice-President of the Irish Georgian Society\, he is the autho
 r of more than a dozen books\, a former columnist for Apollo magazine\, an
 d a contributor to both The Burlington Magazine and the Irish Arts Review.
  Robert has curated many exhibitions\, including Ireland’s Fashion Radic
 als for The Little Museum in Dublin\, and In Harmony with Nature: The Iris
 h Country House Garden for the Irish Georgian Society\, both of which drew
  record attendances. For the past twelve years\, he has written an award-w
 inning blog The Irish Aesthete.\n\nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a
 n extensive programme of events\, talks\, screenings\, and a far-reaching 
 learning programme. A catalogue will be published in Summer 2025 to accomp
 any the exhibition.
