In honour of WORLD SILLYweek 2015 <zHu> has decided to amass at least 2 [CsC] – [CulturallysignificantCollections] to mark its coming together for WORLD SILLYweek 2015
|
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 these [CsC] will be CRAPbased. And, consistent with WORLD SILLYweek 2015's motto, "collect the crap and take the urine", together with the number 11, the CHANCEelement and the volume of a SHOEbox, these things will inform the selection processes, the content and the format of the collections – and the forms they may take. It is envisaged that the 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.
