The citizen curator is increasingly taking the initiative to collect and care for things, all kinds of things, that are changing the ways we see and imagine museums – indeed the world and things in general. In CYBREspace auxiliaryMUSEUMS that are a meeting place, or more to the point a CYBERplace, for citizen curators and the collectors of all manner of things.
Think about it, there is a collector with a museum around almost every corner. 21ST C musingplaces need to function as an alert zone for CITIZENcurators! Also, they need to be venues that allow CITIZENcurators in rather than exclude them.
Collecting is cultural production and a collection is a cultural product.
CITIZENcuratorship is not a new idea, or an American idea, its not even a radical idea, but it is a dammed good one!
Fell free to alert us to a CITIZENcurator or nominate one/some even if it means it is you.
