We Love Museums... Do Museums Love Us Back?

Uploaded by pinkyshow on Nov 9, 2008
Recently Kim's been obsessing over museums, her new "hobby." Here she reads from her latest report, "The Creation of Value: meditations on the logic of museums and other coercive institutions." Mildly unpleasant Dead Pinky Story also included (free poster available for download at www.PinkyShow.org).

This is so cute. Kims little teeth are fucking awesome.

Interesting, the box metaphor. The focus on primacy of the object. The idea of museum as cryogenic machine. All very traditional. Museums must innovate and follow the community model like that utilized at the Oakland Museum of California which encourages visitors to touch objects and partners with communities in authoring exhibitions in particular cultural exhibitions of from all levels of society.

@giordano373 Your English is excellent, especially for a complex idea like the one you made. You should be well pleased with yourself there; well done.

sometimes i think that the objects placed in museums are better indicators of the society and culture that chose to put them there, rather than being decent impersonations from the cultures and societies they originaly utilized them. (sorry for my bad english, its not my mother-language)

@lordrah the whole point of this topic is that Pinky and her friend are bringing public awareness to the fact that a certain class in society dictate what are important events and objects in our history worthy to be kept preserved. This group of people are able to rewrite or totally erase parts of history to suit their self-interests. And as the future generations visit these museums they will view society in a distorted way. Gosh I'll never be able to see museums in the same way!!!
