Call
for Artworks for the Permanent Collection and the Museum Collection
Policy.
Unlike most art museums the Ontological Museum is not a
product of one or several
wealthy collectors donating their oversized collections to a well
funded repository for a staff to take care of and exhibit. Rather it is
a gathering together of art and objects by artists for artists as part
of the Ontological Museum - a museum intended to collect direct first
hand art specimens from current living artists like a scientific museum
might collect field specimens for study and research.
The Ontological
Museum is actively collecting artworks for the
permanent
collection of the museum. We are collecting at present around the
exhibition concepts in the left column but will entertain works outside
of these
ideas. What we are looking for are works of modest scale and of high
quality. Great things in small packages. We have designed the museum
around economy of storage and with an eye to international traveling
exhibitions that document the work of artists in the constructive arts
- that is to say, art that is 'put together' from assembled parts or
work done in that spirit. The Museum is in fact an "assemblage of
assembled things".
We collect works within several major and often intertwined divisions:
- The International
Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction
- The Fluxmuseum
- The Archives of the
Eternal Network
- The Museum of
Snapshot Photography
- The Department of
Linguistic Records
- The
Department of Nocturnal
Emissions & Crepuscular Atavisms
The International Museum
of Collage, Assemblage and Construction
collagemuseum.com
As the name suggests the IMCAC is
focused on Collage/Assemblage art as well as studio documentary
materials such as
donated sketchbooks, scrapbooks, hand made books, diaries, collections
of papers, such
as in boxes, dossiers also photographs, ephemera; all of those things
that
surround the creative process of collage, assemblage and construction.
Our interest is in constructed art as it began in the early 20th
century around photography, film, advertising, printing, computers,
mass media, etc.
The Fluxmuseum - fluxmuseum.org
FLUXmUSeum
was founded in 2006 with the intention of documenting 21st
century fluxus artists.
The Fluxmuseum is dedicated to the collection, performance, production,
publishing, promotion, exhibition, documentation and safekeeping
of Fluxus works . The Fluxmuseum is an inclusive venture inviting any
artist who
feels a connection to fluxus to participate in museum projects and to
contribute works to the collection.
The Archives of the
Eternal Network
archivesoftheeternalnetwork.org
The AEN invites mail artists to send samples of their
work and/or to donate their collections of accumulated correspondence
to the Archives.
The Museum of
Snapshot Photography
snapshotsmuseum.org
The MSP collects snap shot and vernacular photography of
the 20th century as well as other works created by photographic means
such as scanner art, photostatic art, etc.
The Department of
Linguistic Records
The DLR collects language related works such as visual
poetry, concrete poetry, collage poetry, asemic writing and other
related items as well as small and independant press publications.
The
Department of Nocturnal
Emissions & Crepuscular Atavisms
The DNECA is the archive of artist dreams and visions and dream related
art and images.
Please begin collecting your dreams and other Nocturnal Emissions &
Crepuscular Atavisms and send them in along with any art that is
generated
from the dream experience. Be sure to date it, records will be kept
chronologically.
Dreams (or visions) recorded since 1987 are eligible for inclusion.
For the time being we will receive any small package sight unseen.
Things larger than a briefcase we would like to see photographs or
digital images of first. Don't send things with animal or plant items
that might not make it through customs. Send items regardless of value
as -0- value so that
we don't have to pay duties on your contributions (or tempt postal
workers to steal them) and please sign up as a member of the IMCAC or
ISACA to help cover the costs of processing your items.
Once the Museum is solvent enough we will send you a card acknowledging
your contribution. It is the intention of the museum to keep and care
for contributed items into the foreseeable future.
The museum currently contains thousands of contributed items from
artists all over the world housed at our Offices/Archives and we are
additionally seeking a suitable physical
location to house and exhibit the growing collection on a grander scale.
Please include this signed and dated DEED
OF GIFT FORM
with your materials.
