Deveron Art’s town collection is an archive featuring works from the artists and musicians who have been in residence with the organisation since its inception in 1997. Each item is exhibited in a public place or business throughout the town of Huntly, acting as a record of the projects that have taken place. Jeans, C. Town Collection Development Report (phase 1), Dec 2008 ___________________________________________________ From: Tim Brennan <tim.brennan@sunderland.ac.uk> Sent Monday, May 18, 2009 9:18 pm To: Host Subject: Host of Huntly's Town Art Collection Dear Host, I am currently developing an artists walk for Deveron arts to be presented as part of a forthcoming festival on 20/21st June. The walk will incorporate many of the places where art works have been commissioned for Huntly over the past few years. As a host of an artwork ‘The Missing Picture’ by Eva Merz I was wondering if you could offer me a comment on your experience. A response to the question: What is it like being a host of your artwork? I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Tim Brennan ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________

Cabinets of curiosities (also known as Wunderkammer, Cabinets of Wonder, or wonder-rooms) were encyclopedic collections of types of objects whose categorical boundaries were, in Renaissance Europe, yet to be defined. Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to natural history (sometimes faked), geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings) and antiquities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_curiosities ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________
