Curating in a Wasteland: Formation of the Public Sphere
Everyone should discover their own wasteland, a space where they can attribute new meanings. The objects in this realm are remnants of the past, stripped of their original significance, as understood by the mainstream; they are simply objects. A wasteland encompasses all aspects of the past—relics, debris, traces—that persist regardless of their former grandeur. We are left only with data from the past; it’s all we have, and all we require. There are no old traditions to adhere to; instead, perhaps some older traditions can be revived as new trends. A wasteland is a place of desolation, a public arena that accepts everything that has occurred.
