The Museum of Temporary Art
To  visit the Museum of Temporary Art in person, you must travel to the German city of Tubingen, find the home of Debby Rebsch, and coax her into revealing the museum's exact location. Though the MoTA houses 33 separate displays, its physical footprint consumes just 16x20 inches. It might be easy to miss. But should you succeed, you will encounter such international treasures as a subverted Belgian tobacco packet, a mini-tube of Chinese toothpaste "dipped in encaustic," and two American jingle bells on a bright green string. The list of donors also reveals the gallery's global reach: Canadian Diane Bertrand donated an "accordeon" paper fold; the Kamperelics of Serbia contributed an assemblage titled "Sex is everywhere!"; and Chaslyn Duffek, from the U.S., sent in a raffle ticket/sinus pill/penny collage called "Spring cleaning." But don't let it stop there. The museum is always looking for more pieces—why not donate? (in Collecting) |
