MEDITATIONS
In the Philosophy Department, indulging in meditation is both desultory pastime and rigorous discipline. As we strive to think deeply about the objects in our Permanent Collection, yet remain playfully aware of the human propensity towards self-aggrandizing pontification, we return again and again to the slogan taped to the department refrigerator door: “Fancy is as fancy does…”
As the years pass, we are gathering an ever-expanding portfolio of Object Meditations, which serves as a catalog of sorts, of all that we hold dear.
