I was thinking I’d do a few alternative histories of museums for the first post of the last month of the decade. As I imagined a world without the many museum tech projects of the decade, I felt inherently sad about the imagining away the successes that friends and colleagues have enjoying. But I couldn’t get there.

Have you ever been to a museum with no permanent exhibits ? On a recent trip to Chicago, I checked out the Museum of Contemporary Art. Plus, I know the next time I’m in Chicago, the museum will be a totally different experience, so I’m highly motivated to go back. Use Your Space Creatively.

Last month, I got a chance to talk with Nell Taylor, founder of the Chicago Underground Library. That means we collect university press, handmade artist books, zines made by sixth graders, poetry chapbooks from big names published in tiny local presses, and self-published poetry chapbooks sold for a dollar on the street.

They explored a huge range of museum objects and grey areas of "realness." To remake a thing correctly is to discover its essence.
