Kleinod Story: The Study of John Sibellious Munz
Installation
2015
John Sibellious Munz’s study tells the story of his life and character. It is a space in which he lives, creates, collects, and works. Everything has been carefully collected by Munz, who acquires his pieces with personal attraction in mind. Monetary value is of little importance to Munz, who places sentimentality, uniqueness, and personal appeal above all else. Objects of great and little importance, artistic, historical or otherwise unusual in nature are acquired and displayed in this room, where they are given a place to belong. This room combines the multiple realities he exists in and provides a physical portrait of his mental space.
Visitors are encouraged to explore John’s room while he is out. You may touch, but please refrain from altering, breaking, or removing any of his possessions from the room.
