Title
Hairy Museum of Natural History
Description
The Hairy Museum of Natural History was created to lend a winking level of credibility to various projects and research undertaken by its instigator, Matt Celeskey. It is, or strives to be, a knotted tangle of experiments, art, and chicanery.
Unlike traditional museums, which comb the thick and fertile fields of natural history for ideas and carefully groom the finest of follicles for public display, the Hairy Museum revels in the dishevelled masses that defy easy understanding, and strives to apply a conditioner of cultural cacophony onto the frayed and split ends of ideas that have suffered through far too many cycles of Rinse, Lather, and Repeat.
The HMNH was started in 1994 and, like most museums, it began with little more than an ugly logo and an acronym. A year later it became the Hairy Museum of Natural History, paving the way for at least a decade of overextended metaphor. After a few sporadic projects and the odd gallery show, it was reborn as a website in the heady days of the late 90's, as we scrambled to exploit the dot-com bubble. Following our own accelerated cycles of boom and bust, this latest incarnation of the HMNH hit the noösphere in late 2004. We're planning to stick around, and hope you will too.
