The Drifting Encyclopedia is an assemblage of American oddities, scientific and historical ephemera, questionable accounts and implausible representations thereof. Part Victorian cabinet of curiosities, part roadside attraction, this immersive art installation houses exhibits that echo the themes of unlikely connections and contemplates the actual, illusory and anomalous nature of love. The Drifting Encyclopedia is created in correspondence to Undercurrents & Exchange, a series of performances in the WFC Winter Garden.

    Originally opened as a companion piece in July to a site-specific dance work, this popup museum features strange, charming, interactive exhibits that, according to press materials, is “part Victorian cabinet of curiosities and part roadside attraction.” And it’s also only open through Sept. 3, so if you want to get your weird installation on, time is ticking. Bottom Line: Even if this wasn’t the sad and barren end of August, this show would be exciting and interesting. Since it is, we’re calling this one out as can’t miss.
