regarding your thesis

(Thanks Sarah)

For Vien

three acts regarding your thesis:

1. Copying: recreate an existing collection (the scent exhibition? the smelling salts collection?) [perhaps remove the actual object...a sent-less scent exhibition where you ask your participants to imagine the experience of smelling a certain thing...a smelling salts collection where the bottles are purchased from ikea?] the idea is to exercise your curatorial instincts without concern for the content.

2. Composing: take your blog-posts to the next level...make your own website or e-book or book or magazine with minimal text contribution from yourself...working with your existing material but taking more control over the format and presentation. (maybe include marketing or distributing the composition...)

3. Writing: curate an installation or exhibit for which you play docent. repeatedly explaining the significance of your collection could help you work out your text
