The document discusses the Reliquary of the Lost & Found, a proposed 6000 square foot space in NYC that would shelter displaced artifacts from endangered sites around the city. It would serve as a place for meditation, archiving, and appreciation of these cultural relics. The Reliquary would connect visitors to NYC's past and present through exhibitions of lost artifacts that are not yet forgotten. It would include reception space, galleries, a projection room, two offices, and an auditorium.

80th ICREA Colloquium "Archaeology and Colonialism: multiple perspectives" by...
ICREA Research Professor Sandra Montón Subías exposes how Archaeology has come a long way from its origins as a colonial discipline to a more recent self-criticism and scrutiny in the wake of anti, post- and de-colonial thought. Beyond archaeologists' explicit unapologetic collaboration with colonialism during the 19th and most of the 20th centuries, an exploration of the effect of colonialism in archaeology reveals a myriad of other aspects in which archaeology became deeply entangled with what at first sight could be considered as a mere political and economic practice. Her own archaeological projects in the Mariana Islands (western Pacific) and the history of archaeological practice are brought to illustrate some of the issues raised.

This document summarizes the conservation of a print titled "The Pursuit of Pleasure: A Vision of Human Life" owned by the Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri. The print, created in 1864, was in poor condition with a yellowed and brittle paper. Through cleaning and repair, the conservation restored the print to an exhibitable condition. The print depicts a scene from a 1855 painting and shows human figures indulging in various vices as they are lured by the goddess Pleasure. The restoration revealed the intricate details of the print and allowed the museum to preserve this piece of art for future generations.

Questioning the Collection
I have chosen to focus on a set of spoons from the Korean Goryeo Dynasty because I thought that the objects had an
interesting relationship between function and aesthetic. There is an argument to say that these spoons have been
designed for capital, they are simply a symbol of status and wealth. However I feel this is a very cynical approach to
take and they are a lovely example of what design is at its core. When I look at the spoons I feel joy, I want to hold
them, to test their weight. I want to use them and have the sensory experience of eating with them. I found myself
imagining the hands of the person who made them, the tools and processes they used to shape the metal.
I was drawn to the spoons because they give value
to an object we see and use everyday. My
understanding of a spoon today is tied up with
mundanity and familiarity. We are used to using
spoons which have been mass-produced and are
often disposable.
If we unpack the objects being displayed we see the
huge amount of care that has gone into their
creation. They have all been hand formed, giving
them a lovely tactility- I found myself wanting to feel
the smoothness of the bowl and the curve of the
handle. Each spoon is unique, they have been
designed to work coherently as a set but each has
its own individuality. Another layer to this care they
have been given is the fact that they have been
preserved so well for over a thousand years.
They have little signs of wear and still look like they could be used today, perhaps this suggests that these objects
were an integral part of society at that time- that they were seen as highly valuable and people thought they would be
valuable for years to come.
The information card says that “Spoons were often placed in burials...” supporting my theory of design over capital,
rather than design as capital. Although we know that the spoons had a lot of monetary value, and this is a reason
why they were found in burials, we also understand that they were important for other reasons. They were
considered special and important enough to be buried, implying that people who used them found they had a
spiritual or magical quality.
They may have been buried with the wealthy as a status symbol or they may have been considered necessary for
the afterlife.
Either way I think it is quite unusual today to find an object which is used everyday and is given this level of value. We
may have things like jewellery which we wear everyday, and are valuable, but an object with function and value is rare. I
think our modern equivalent may be mobile phones. We use them everyday, they are valuable in terms of monetary
value and usefulness, and have been designed to appeal aesthetically. Maybe in years to come archaeologists will find
mobiles buried with us in graves.

CULTURE: THE NORTON SIMON MUSEUM
Norton Simon Museum
How our Public Environment Displays our Culture
From its gardens to the design of the museum, the Norton Museum is a reflection of the rich talent in California. Its design and external appearance is credited to the work of local contemporary artists as well as local architects and designers. The garden is a reflection of the great thought taken in the selection of vegetation as well as the landscaping of the paths, the cafeteria and paths for taking walks. With a variety of greenery from ferns to trees to different types of bushes, the garden creates a modern version of the outdoors; allowing revelers to enjoy the shade that the tree over as well as the serene atmosphere created.
One of the most alluring sights is the sculpture garden that borders the pond. Unique sculptures are placed in different parts of the garden. They help to create an atmosphere that reflects creativity and true tranquility. The sculpture garden is truly an oasis resplendent of human emotion and expression.
This museum is a work of art in itself. Designed by local architects under the instructions of Walter Hopps, the museum was designed in 1962. Hopps was the curator at the time. The modern curvilinear façade glazed in tiles of varying brown hues was made by Edith Heath. She was known for her work as a ceramic artisan. The museum is a representation of the talent of locals as well as an avenue for opening up the local community to the world of art on an international scale. Sadly, Hopps resigned before the completion of the museum.
The Museum
A museum is an avenue of expression not just for the artist but for the locale. It represents a heritage and a history of an area while at the same time illuminating talent for the benefit of those that love it and those that live it. Without it, there would be a vacuum. However, its survival is hinged on its ability to make revenue. As such, its displays of art must help it meet this need and not just that of the artist to have their work seen.
The Norton Simon Museum is an art museum. Located in Pasadena California, it is one of the recommended tourist attractions for any art lover. The museum has a wide collection of more than eleven thousand pieces. Its collections include European paintings, Asian sculptures, sculpture gardens, woodblock prints and tapestries. The museum has a distinctive brown tile exterior that attracts a passerby’s attention.
The museum has been in existence since 1953. However, back then, it was known as the Pasadena Art Institute. Named after its locality, it later became the Pasadena Art Museum after receiving over 400 German Expressionist pieces from a collector. At the time, the museum was the only one that had progressive art exhibits. This helped it gain popularity among art lovers in the area since the other modern art museums were in San Francisco and La Jolla at the time.
Norton Simon came into the picture in 1970. He needed a pl.

It focuses on community outreach and educational programming through partnerships with local schools and organizations.
The Modernist Museum and Beyond
1. The document discusses theories of representation in museums from the 19th century modernist model to challenges to that model.
2. It focuses on how museums construct narratives through the selection and grouping of objects on display and how this produces knowledge.
3. It analyzes how the meanings of objects like the Ghost Dance shirt in the Kelvingrove Museum collection changed over time as the narratives constructed around it changed in response to different cultural perspectives.

This document discusses the vision and concept of a hybrid museum. It proposes that the museum be reimagined for the 21st century with a brand promise of "Think about everything, differently." The hybrid museum is defined as combining two different elements or disciplines. Examples are given of other museums that take a hybrid approach, mixing collections and creating interdisciplinary narratives.

SSCE MIDTERM 2014 Endangered Sites ST.Anne’schurch theoctagon 5pointz190bowery Americancan factory NYC RELIQUARY OF THE LOST & FOUND Within the various neighborhoods and communities of NYC, changes and shifts occur within the fabric of significant places. The alterations tend to erode (or in some cases exploit) the relics and spirit of some past operation or functioning culture. Either way, the artifacts cease to exist in either condition. And, if they physically do, the authenticity of their cultural past has been forgotten and reduced to decoration. The Reliquary of the Lost & Found is a place for sheltering displacement. Artifacts in current transition and endangerment will be brought to this site for meditation, archiving, and appreciation. This site will connect visitors to the past and present of New York City’s lost, but not forgotten relics. PROGRAM Reception Gallery/Exhibition Projection Room 2 Offices Auditorium 6000 sq ft.
