‎Wonderkamer II: Wouters en Hendrix, DIVA expo‎

‎Antwerpen , DIVA ANTWERP, 2019 softcover, 103 pages Illustrated. 24x 18cm. ISBN 9789463960601.‎

‎DIVA nodigt de komende jaren bijzondere gastcuratoren uit om hun interpretatie van een Wonderkamer te presenteren. Voor de tweede Wonderkamer kreeg het ontwerpersduo Wouters & Hendrix carte blanche om te onderzoeken en te verbeelden wat hen verwondert en inspireert. Ze diepen voor de gelegenheid iconische juwelen uit hun eigen archief op en laten zich inspireren door parels uit de DIVA-collectie, moderne en hedendaagse kunst en curiosa. 2019 is een sleuteljaar voor Katrin Wouters en Karen Hendrix: de verwoede verzamelaars vieren het 35-jarig bestaan van hun juwelenlabel. Verwacht geen traditionele retrospectieve of eenvoudige juxtaposities van ontwerp en inspiratiebron. Wouters & Hendrix confronteren hun oeuvre met objecten met dezelfde of net een contrasterende dynamiek. Zo ontstaat er een spanning die de rode draad vormt in al hun werk. Wouters & Hendrix? fascinatie voor opmerkelijke verhalen en edele metalen vormen de leidraad van de tentoonstelling. De drie museumzalen hebben elk een eigen thema met goud, zilver en verzamelen als inspiratiebron. Precieuze objecten en alledaagse vondsten krijgen betekenis in persoonlijke composities. De unieke assemblages die zo eigen zijn aan hun werk, zorgen voor een explosie aan vormen en kleuren.‎

‎DIVA will be inviting renowned designers and curators for a contemporary interpretation of the Wunderkammer, a chamber exhibiting a collection of art and curiosities, objects from every corner of the globe. The Wunderkammer stems from Antwerp's illustrious past, for until the middle of the seventeenth century the city led the way in the production and distribution of art and luxury goods. Silverware, jewellery, precious stones and exotic curiosities like coconuts, shells and coral were highly sought-after. Axel Vervoordt, after his famous series of biennal exhibitions at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, will take the lead. The catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Axel Vervoordt, Wonderkamer 1' at the new Diamond Museum Antwerp is the 2nd issue of an affordable series of DIVA 'magazines', opening and sharing the reclused world of luxury arts and crafts. Axel Vervoordt (? 1947, Antwerp, Belgium) has earned renown as a collector, antiquarian, interior designer and, most recently, curator. Counting among his clientele royalty, rock stars, financiers, tech tycoons and artists, he is one of the world's foremost tastemakers. Inquiries into the nature of being and concepts of time and space are what most compel him; he conveys his views through his inspired arrangements of objects and interiors. To some, expressing the lofty in the material might seem contradictory, but Vervoordt believes that, as in a Zen koan, truth can be contained in paradox and ambiguity.‎
