Elsewhere is at the top of my list of places I would most like to visit. Proposals involve sculpture, performance, participatory-projects, videos, and installation that use and respond to the museum’s collection.

We talked to visitors and made and placed cards for about half an hour. In many cases, we ended up in long conversations with visitors, but that was always driven by their interest in telling us more about what they liked, why they were at the museum, etc. The cards are ok, but the people (and the conversations) are what matters.
