About

Pandora’s Box: Joseph Cornell Unlocks the Collection puts Cornell’s work into direct dialogue with objects from the MCA Collection to illuminate the continued relevance of his pursuits while also grounding even very recent work within a historical continuum that yields surprises to this day. Spanning more than 60 years—and including media from painting and photography to sculpture and video—the exhibition relies on loose and playful juxtapositions to prompt new appreciations of his career and shows the work in a decidedly different and distinctively contemporary light.
