"Deep Storage: Collecting, Storing, and Archiving in Art"

“Deep Storage” seems to give the spectators the opportunity to become artists themselves , and to experience the mind of the artist not only trough the finished work but also by exploring the context of the creation and handling of the finished object. The audience can experience the curiosity that the vision of the storage containers produce and use their imagination to fill them with objects according to their own subjective idea of value. On the other hand when the objects stored are visible the audience can reflect on the characteristics of this art, as it seems to reveal unseen characteristics when its placed in storage. It is mentioned that these characteristics can either add interest on the objects or lead the spectator to reduce them to pieces of furniture. Either way it is interesting to observe that the importance of product over process is diminished with the inclusion of all this context into the exhibition. I think that art reveals the heart of every artist. But, in a scenario where the process is exposed, the process may become the heart, while the finished product would seem more related with the mind, the intention, of the artist.
