Museum of the Stealing of Souls

The Museum of the Stealing of Souls has opened on July 19th 2008, hosted by manifesta7 in Trento, Italy. It is devoted to histories of the invention, appropriation and reconfiguration of the subject by photography.

The museum holds a fast growing collection organized in seven departments. The exhibits on show are reflecting alleged histories of soul-theft and surveillance, soullessness and alienation, immaterial production and precariousness -- loosely based on the question: Where can a soul live its life instead of saving it?

This is more or less how frontera will look like - and how it looked at Nimk.

El Lissitzky's proposal for a street decoration in Vitebsk

The first episode of IMAGINARY PROPERTY took place in Vanabbemuseum in Eindhoven (NL). It is focussed on their most recent acquisition, a so far unknown piece by El Lissitzky. The project researches the way, in which the museum configures, builds, installs, uses and performs the relationships to the objects that are supposed to be owned, preserved and displayed as its property. Or: how does the museum produce a spatio-temporal domain in conformity with its own concept which has to relate back to the original idea of granting to the public some controlled and temperate access to the realm of collective imagination?
