‘Overlapping with the Early Modern cabinet of curiosity or Wunderkammer, grottos were spaces in which creatives could playfully blur the boundaries between art and nature,’ says Krista Mileva-Frank. The MIT Architecture doctoral candidate was tapped by Los Angeles collectible design gallery Marta to curate a group show that probes how contemporary talents have upheld and reinterpreted this theme – one she has been researching for over five years – in varying yet transdisciplinary explorations. ‘Objects for a Heavenly Cave’ opens this weekend, running from 7 September until 12 October 2024.
