Artist: Unknown brings together for the first time an extraordinary selection of anonymous art and artefacts from the University of Cambridge’s renowned museums and collections.
With objects spanning centuries and continents, the exhibition weaves together often hidden histories of artistic production, collection, marginalisation and colonialism, to explore why these makers’ identities have been unrecorded or lost to history.
The miniatures can be seen in a special display in the Rothschild Gallery of Medieval & Renaissance Art (Gallery 32), where they are shown alongside other 16th- and 17th-century miniatures, including examples by Nicholas Hilliard.
The new work called We takes its inspiration from the proposal by Jean-Luc Nancy that “we are” - that we exist through relationship, coupled with a symbolic play on the letters used to denote electricity from which this work is made.
The work inside the Museum will be accessible during normal opening hours. The work outside the Museum will be lit up from 10am-10pm.
The University’s West Cambridge development has proved enormously fruitful for Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU), particularly the North West Cambridge site, now renamed Eddington. CAU has been digging on-site for almost 20 years and the extraordinary insights into the area’s prehistoric and Roman past, plus the many Anglo-Saxon, medieval and 20th century finds are of global archaeological significance.
This display celebrates this incredible work and represents the thousands of objects that have been found over the years.
