Actually, I do know of an artist who creates installations where he intends for this activity to happen. It's very interesting to watch peoples' reactions when they are allowed to participate in creating their own art museum experience. And of course we can't forget Fred Wilson, who stuns most curators when he selects objects from their collections and reinstalls them out of traditional context to illuminate their subtext. With minimal labeling, I might add (at least, at first he did).

Anarchy would be the abdication of curatorial guidance -- if the Hirschhorn invited visitors to move the artwork around, to place the artwork as they please. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
