MISE-EN SCENE
The standard structure of the museum is put into conversation with community members of Rosario city – called mainly by means flyers*, who lent daily objects over the course of the show.
The Museum team and the object providers are an essential part of this performance, and they are called necessary implicated actors (NIA).
During the opening the museum room changes. For the first few minutes there are only empty white displays and lighting. Later, objects are received with a protocol document from the museum’s Conservation Department, and then they are placed under their exhibitions standards.
Those objects that have a more or less fixed meaning begin to drift, as do the actors’ roles: this is true both for the Conservation Department/team trained to operate with "artworks", and for the "providers" whose objects are treated by the Museum with the documentary protocol and the status of "artwork", as well as for the role of “authorship”.
The flyers were designed by the museum’s Communication Department.
