In honour of WORLD SILLYweek 2005 [zHu] decided to take a walk around the block and document STREETcrap to mark its existence for WORLD SILLYweek 2005. In addition, will accept submissions from others who may wish to put such collections together – personal collections, public collections, corporate collections, institutional collections, investment collections, whatever.
The 'curatorial thesis' informing this and other collections was CRAPbased. And, consistent with WORLD SILLYweek motto, "collect the crap and take the urine", together with the number 11, the CHANCEelement and the FOUNDplace, these things informed the selection processes, the content and the format of the collections – and the forms they took. It is envisaged that such collections will be offered to an appropriate public institution(s) and that they will be catalogued/documented. Once the cataloguing has been completed HARDcopy and digital versions will be made available via this Website.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
In order to make the
SILLYcollections project as accessible as possible it has been decided that the points of engagement will be simple and open to as many who wish to engage with the project.
- Firstly, groups of 11 items of "valueless crap" – however it's imagined by whoever submits it – are being requested all of which will be combined to form 'a collection'.
- Secondly, all 11 items submitted will be included in 'the collection'.
- Thirdly, the total volume of all 11 physical items for COLLECTION # 1 must fit within the volume of a standard shoebox and in the case of COLLECTION # 2, be no longer than 4' 33" in duration.
Please submit your CRAPcollection to a MUSINGplace near you as a consequence of the WORLD SILLYweek 2015 program.
