Fred Wilson (b. 1954, USA)
Mining the museum, 1992

Continuing the theme of curation as artistic practice…

I might not be in a position to re-arranged the museum displays, but I don’t necessarily have to. For my purposes objects, images and sounds harvested from museums, galleries and performances will do.

My take-away from Wilson is once again not his subject matter but his method. In this case as inspiration that new artworks can be made out of re-arrangements and re-interpretations of other artists’ works.
