Trecho de Barbara Kruger [interview by Carol SQUIERS]. Aperture. n.138, 1995. p.58-67 em que ela descreve uma proposta de instalação que se aproxima muito de algumas questões do MuseuMuseu.

CS: Are you working on any other large-scale installations?

BK: “Imperfec Utopia: A Park for the New World” is a project I have been collaborating on with the architectural firm of Smith-Miller & Hawkinson, the landscape architect Nicholas Quennel, and Guy Norderson, an enginner with Ove Arup Inc. It consists of the development of land around the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Like my other collaborations with Smith-Miller & Hawkinson in Los Angeles and Seattle, this project contradicts the convencional notion of a “master plan,” breaking up the singular object of “building” or “artwork” or “site” into a multiplicity of procedures. Initially, we created a number of “zones” around the museum, created a kind of outdoor spectacle comprised of structures, words, escavations, still and moving images, and botany. It can be a space of relaxing, for movie-going, for reading, listenning, or relaxing. [sic.] We are trying to break down the categorical constraints of vocation (artist, architect, landscape architect, and engineer) and to think about the way museums make history and culture.
