The Warhol Museum's Dead Objects 30/08/2009
 The Warhol Archive Andy Warhol collected boxes of daily ephemera, as you no doubt know, and these 600+ boxes, or time capsules, are being unpacked, archived, displayed. I could not help but think of some of the dead stuff in these when I saw your site – and film was such a huge part of his and his followers' work. The Warhol Museum here has daily showings of many of his 275 film works: http://www.warhol.org/collections/film_video.asp Warhol collected stuff, including all kinds of 50s kitsch and the museum did an exhibit 4 years ago of a lot of it. Among those things were items we no longer use (or recognize). You can read about the show here: http://www.warhol.org/whats_on/pdfs/PR_Time_Capsules.pdf Here's an example of a virtual exhibition of one of the Time Capsules: http://www.warhol.org/tc21/ --Jann's friend Paul CommentsLeave a Reply |
