CONSERVING ACTIVE MATTER
Memories and narrative, small figurines behind glass, cards from an uncle in a cardboard box in a closet, toys and games, books and vinyl moldering in the garage…
What do you conserve?
What is worth your time? What has value to you?
What is lost even as you work to preserve?
Stamps and coins in a binder. Emphemera locked in a safe, sealed.
playbills, comics, pogs, masks, sneakers, hats, posters, boomboxes, cameras, computers, pens, instruments, armor, weapons, photographs, cars, glassware, clay, gold
Why do you conserve?
When do you conserve?
Who will conserve you and your objects?
