Any museum is mere fiction. MOMS does not escape from this rule.
The Revolting
the Museum project is intended to orientate the very concept
of MOMS within a strategy of mobility that is part of its
very existence - towards a reconstruction from the outside, making
way for a paradoxical idea of an open museum, without an author,
without history and virtually infinite. In essence, opening the
museum to the interstices of reality.
This site
will act as an embryo of a revolutionised MOMS it will be
a place to register short histories, commentaries, thoughts, reactions,
news or links that anybody would like to provide on power strategies.
Given the institutional character of MOMS, any contribution will
instantly acquire the condition of museum piece. Through this
process, at the same time as this text is supposedly being preserved
and presented, it is also annulled by its inclusion in an institution
of a funereal nature.
One
of the fundamental ideas of the Revolting the Museum project lies
in this twofold active and passive condition that each text will
incorporate. Although each contribution is condemned to an instantaneous
acceleration that transforms all texts into cadavers (from the
moment the SUBMIT button is pressed), on the other hand, the archive's
infinite potential for growth and its open nature grant it, at
least, a vitality denied to other formulations of the museological
concept.
The Museum
is dead. Long live the Museum.
