Ashmolean Now: Bettina Von Zwehl
This exhibition will feature photographs by London-based artist, Bettina von Zwehl (b. 1971). Von Zwehl's aim is to rekindle wonder and curiosity as critical tools for exploring new ideas and practices.
During a residency in Oxford from 2022鈥�23, von Zwehl spent time researching the Ashmolean鈥檚 founding collections 鈥� the wonderfully diverse objects and works of art which were displayed when the Museum first opened in the 17th century.
The artist's time at the Ashmolean served as inspiration for a unique photographic 'Wunderkammer' installation that moves between portraiture, silhouetted fragments, still-life, monumental and miniature elements, as well as non-art objects and specimens from natural history collections.
