Ariel Kupfer, founder of the Hidden Museum, situates his work between arts and sciences. His research develops a pedagogical approach to material construction named “materiosophy”.
Recognizing no separation between matter and philosophy, materiosophy is not limited by certain categories of thought. It is an indiscipline that resists to be defined or classified. It questions the hierarchical division between subject and object, between culture and nature, between the living and the inert, and explores them as a continuity.
His collection is held in an almost invisible museum that tells the intimacies of a world that is hidden both in the earth and in the imagination. The aim of the Hidden Museum, a non-profit organization, is to foster curiosity through its secret mineral services. (museecache.fr)
