Background...
This project started when artists Leticia Bajuyo’s and Sabine Senft’s proposal was selected for the “Eisenwunderwelt” exhibition in Berlin, Germany in conjunction with the International Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Art in September of 2022.
​
Like a chain letter, invitations were sent which lead to more invitations sent until we reached 24 artworks. The primary focus of invitation is to create a “record” depicting or describing a moment of wonder in the past, present or future of your culture, heritage or life. Artists could choose any medium that inspires wonder and 2D, 3D, digital art, music or poetry….all are welcome. The size of a 12" LP record was chosen as a global item of reference and in a nod to Berlin's DJ culture.
​
In addition to the inaugural installation in Germany, Leticia and Sabine are creating and maintaining this online archive of 24 Hours of Wonder. This project website will function as a nexus connecting all the separate artists and documenting their work across cultures and time zones, across generations and moments of wonder in time.
The goal is to grow this installation into a traveling exhibition with each exhibit adding a half Day of Wonder = 12 more artist records. Alongside the growing archive and traveling exhibition, this website would complement it with a growing online archive.
