Artifacts and Anomalies exhibition at Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography

Russia's first museum was established by Peter the Great shortly after he founded the city of St. Petersburg in 1703. Peter established his museum by giving to it the artifacts from his own cabinet of wonder. As a result, Peter the Great Museum is still referred to locally as kunstkamera, or art cabinet. An exhibition of artifacts from Peter the Great's cabinet of wonder combined with my work was mounted at the museum during the summer of 2003 and titled Artifacts and Anomalies: Cabinets of Wonder and the Play of Technology
