Website: Interiors
Deadline for submission of Note of Interest: 30 Sep 2019
Issue 10 seeks contributions on the topic of Collections. Please see the attached PDF with detailed information along with a brief summary below and link to website.
The interior is a repository for collections, whether curated as a body of work for a museum or the personal possessions of an individual. Collections can be thematic, nostalgic, scientific, artificial and natural, ranging in scale from large to small, physical to ephemeral, critical or superfluous, from the obviously curated to seemingly random. Collections convey knowledge of heritage, culture, society and evolution, protecting specimens and objects of material culture for generations to view. They allow for comparison between objects and create relationships between them where there were none. These can be viewed in large institutional museums that have not been without contention with works pilfered from original sites. In juxtaposition, everyday objects are celebrated and curated in unexpected locations such as the MmuseumM housed in a converted elevator shaft. As subject matter, collections can range from decorative to the obsessive, or challenge conventions to curatorial statements about truth and fiction as found in the Museum of Jurassic Technology. The interior is the site for collections which are given a descriptive and physical framework through the lens of curators, exhibition designers, interior designers and architects who set the stage for objects and viewers.
Interiors: Design/Architecture/Culture seeks submissions that address the topic of collections. Submissions can take the form of essays, design work, visual collections, musings, alternative interpretations to collections, all the while situating them within the broader context of interiors. Emphasis will be placed on non-traditional content in order to open up the opportunity for new insight on how collections are viewed and interpreted.
Phase 1: Note of Interest

Phase 2: Full Submissions
