4. QUESTION OF THE DAY

5. INSPIRATION

What more could we need or want from life?
“...some strange pressed flowers, a few videotapes, some family photos, a drawing on crumpled paper, an enormous banner of grass and reeds interwoven
with old pieces of material which once were clothes, a fine suit, a bad book…
These will be the objects…” Superstudio - Life Without Objects.

One of the things Superstudio believed in was that objects would be “reduced to the condition of neutral and disposable elements”.

In Los Angeles, The Museum of Jurassic Technology - “a spot dedicated to the Muses, a place where man’s mind could attain a mood of aloofness above
everyday affairs.” The museum contains an unusual collection of exhibits and objects with varying and uncertain degrees of authenticity.

Here’s a nice article about it on The Economist.

This museum made an exhibition all from little people, “microminiatures” - The eye of the needle.

One more cabinet we like which is based in L.A., the interactive Augsburg Display Cabinet at the Getty Museum.

Cabinet of curiosities or wunderkammers

“The Indian in the Cupboard” - A movie about magic and how things come to life in the most unexpected places.

6. Homework:

You will frame one of your ordinary objects to transform it into something special. You will find a way to “exhibit” it inside your room. First, you will have to choose this object. Then, you will need to create a display for it.

Drawing with light. Capturing imagination.
