The power of small things
Game, 2015
Pop Up! collection
Interactive installation, 2015
“Museums Revealed” organizes a game “The power of small things”, that offers young people to get to know the contemporary artworks through creative activities, relating them to the daily context.
During the association’s interactive installations “Pop-Up! Collection”, a nontraditional museum collection will be created. With reference to that, institutionalized collecting practices that are done by museums and other art institutions will be questioned. The research interest in the installation is whether and in what way the nontraditional content will be able to get out of its traditional forms.
