A MUSEUM OF ORDINARY LIFE

Ordinary life is riddled with mystery. Each action, voluntary or not, is part of an active context where the performance of ordinary is orchestrated. It stages a mise-en-scène whose script we can always be able to intervene.
If life is a performance,

how can it be exhibited?
In the interest of recording knowledge, the artist is preserved as a memory by the accumulation of a static compendium of works. They store all times and remain outside of time.
Museums accumulate a stable collection of works and pursuit to preserve the knowledge as a memory. They store all times and remain outside of time.
The museum of ordinary life uses the household as the most sensitive nucleus in the generation of multiple, sometimes incompatible images. Temporary structures intervene the habitual scene allowing for the exploration of the roles involved in the work of art: if the ordinary is a plural and dynamic masterpiece, spectators are not only responsible for its creation but protagonists in their own scenes as well.
Creating an urban point of contact increases the value of the urban landscape. An itinerant museum that can be adapted by different agents, whose collection is perpetually changing.
The heritage of the museum of ordinary life is the domestic landscape. It is manifested in the intimate experience that is recognizing each other as intuitively creative entities.
