Curator's notes to self:
I’m hoping to raise questions about collecting, value, and conversations themselves being objects’, and my own internal checklist of what I’m aiming for is:
draw out the paradoxical nature of attachment to objects
re-presenting/rehabilitating/displaying/recording the discarded
re-commodifying the object from use value to entertainment
asking for gifts/loans to make public the private
recording the narratives/opinions of those who engage with the museum via objects
engage the isolated in dialogue
highlight the aleatory nature of collections
perform the role of museum curator/technician
