Musée Patamécanique

Neil Salley, Musée Patamécanique :: Exhibit / Installation :: by appointment (BRISTOL, Rhode Island, USA)

"'Patamechanics is a method of discovering/manifesting artifacts' much like those of the ancient Wonder-rooms of old, 'which symbolically attribute their properties described by their virtuality to their lineaments.' A Patamechanical artifact or device is displayed with the intention of validating the existence of a realm or entity 'supplementary to this one; or, less ambitiously, describes a universe which can be - and perhaps should be - envisaged in the place of the traditional one.' The primary goal of the Musée Patamécanique is to explore the meaning and possibilities of Patamechanics [...]" [1]

You are invited on a curatorial tour of Musée Patamécanique, a hybrid institution; part museum, part laboratory, part carnival for the senses.

Le Musee is open thru March of 2007 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings between 6:30 P.M. and 9:00 P.M. The exact location of the exhibit is revealed only after you have scheduled your tour, however we can tell you that Le Musée is located in Bristol R.I.
