    Dear All

    If you could create a collection for a museum what would you put in it?  I am very interested in what you all may say because their are so many objects out there in the world. Any genres  of object will do. 

    Thanks,

    Rachel

    Thanks for this typically provocative question, Rachel! I would collect an entire street corner news stand, with all its current papers and magazines. In this one assemblage one could document virtually any aspect of contemporary life, from the political to the aesthetic, from the absurdly fantastic to fundamental truths about the universe.
