About Ashmolean NOW: Bettina von Zwehl
Ashmolean NOW: Bettina von Zwehl is the third in the Ashmolean NOW exhibition series, where contemporary artists are invited to create new work inspired by the Ashmolean’s historical collections.
This exhibition features photographs by London-based artist Bettina von Zwehl (b. 1971), whose aim is to rekindle wonder and curiosity as critical tools for exploring new ideas and practices.
During a residency in Oxford from 2022 to 2023, von Zwehl spent time researching the Ashmolean’s founding collections – 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.
