Description:

In the first floor of the museum, is possible to see a sort of progresive installation composed of daily day objects.

In other room presents documentation from the two past chapters:Chat ( Boijmans Museum, Rotterdam) and Conversations (Alice Ville Contemporary Art Museum, Rosario).

MISE-EN-SCENE

The standard structure of the museum is putting to talk with community members of Posadas city – called main by mean flyers*- that during the time of the show, lent daily objects.
The Museum team and the objects providers are an essential part of this performance, and they are named: necessary implicated actors (ANI).

During the opening the room changes. The first few minutes a is empty but lighting. More lately, objects are received with a protocol document like "art", of the Department of conservation of the Museum, and then they are placed under their exhibition standards over white displays.

Those objects that have a more or less fixed meaning go into drift, as well as the roles: this is both for the Conservation-Curation-Communication Departments/team trained to operate with "artworks", as the "providers" whose objects are treated by the Museum with the documentary Protocol and the status of "artwork", but also for the role of an “authorship”.

The flyers were designed for the Museum Communication Department
