The alchemist's laboratory / Cecilia Westerberg.

"In recent years, Cecilia has travelled extensively in Italy, visiting museums of natural history and studying original old manuscripts on alchemy. These travels prompted the creation of her large, wordless book Atlas of Small and Large Observations, which forms the basis of this entire exhibition. The drawings and collages contained within the book were all inspired by a sense of wonder and an urge to classify a wide range of observations - some real, some imaginary. Taking its starting point in the ancient ideas of alchemy, where science, art and magic coexisted, The Alchemist's Laboratory invites you to go explore, discover and create. The exhibition encourages dynamic, intuitive exploration. A journey of discovery where you will be fascinated and struck with wonder by familiar things placed in new contexts. The works presented in this exhibition engage directly with you and your senses, throwing little obstacles up along the way. You also get the opportunity to come up with your own stories, narratives and interpretations. Questions arise and conversations are begun - between children and adults and among the children themselves. The Alchemist's Laboratory is an innovative and participatory art exhibition that has a special appeal to all ages. The exhibition concept and content is created by artist Cecilia Westerberg and exhibition architect Stine Friese."--From author's website. https://ceciliawesterberg.com/project/the-alchemists-laboratory/
