The Peruvian Four-Selvaged Cloth: Ancient Threads/New Directions
The first exhibition I want to introduce is the Peruvian Four-Selvaged Cloth. The estimated time period is 500-100 B.C.E., but the technique, color and design are of high standard. The design of the cloth, exhibiting the graphic combination of rectangle and circle, geometric arrangement of symmetry, the output of the left is actually pretty "modern" comparing to its era. Moreover, since the civilization of Peruvian was far from that of ours, the similarity on design proved that it was human nature of aesthete towards math and graph. The interaction of science and art is innate!

New World Wunderkammer: A Project by Amalia Mesa-Bains
Another exhibition next to the Peruvian is the New World Wunderkammer.The table in the middle of the showroom raised my interest. It looks like a record of scientific experiment of plant cultivation. The record showed the structure of the tree, the growth and the color it revealed. I think it is a botanic study in Wunderkammer during New World era. In all, this theater of wonder will animate the cultural landscape and human geography of the New World through objects of beauty.
I would recommend my friends to take a look at the exhibition, since it was the fiftieth anniversary, the path Fowler has been through was plotted on the wall, which gave us a general idea of the background of it.
