A Dutch collector in the 17th century kept all kinds of objects in his wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, labelled and displayed in a highly precise order. It was personal. Hierarchies of materials, labor, craftsmanship, and value were taken into account in these arrangements. “It will never be full,” the writer Jan Mark once explained, “there is always room for something new and strange and marvelous.” At LACMA, 300 objects—including paintings, sculptures, prints, and taxidermy—recreate a fictive Dutch wunderkammer from the 1600s. Works by the contemporary artists Jennifer Ling Datchuk, Todd Gray, and Sithabile Mlotshwa round out the show. —Elena Clavarino
