The Messy Bedroom

This "audio broadcast" is part of a larger project called "The Museum of Me," or "MoMe," which officially defines my home as a museum. I see this project as a way to reveal hidden assumptions about museums by applying museum methodology to an absurdly individual subject matter; and conversely and simultaneously as a way to reveal hidden assumptions about homes by analyzing them through the precision tools of museum methodology. I am currently accessioning every object in the house into a Filemaker database, recording provenance, medium, title, dimensions, and so forth for each item. The mp3 will eventually find a home on the future website of the Museum of Me, which will offer access to the collections database, as well memberships, a gift shop, and news of public programming events.
