Where is my colection
Tras informarme sobre los diferentes tipos de colecciones y coleccionistas que hay, me decanté por las colecciones institucionales, los museos.
He tomado esta dirección por la importancia de estos en la divulgación del conocimiento en la sociedad.
La finalidad de estas colecciones es la acumulación de objetos con un valor cultural o científico y por tanto el sentido de coleccionar alcanza un valor mas allá del la acumulación de objetos de unas características concretas.
Tras visitar diferentes museos me topé con el museo de medicina Charite en el cual se encuentra la mayor colección de órganos con diferentes patologías conservados en tarros con formol. Esta colección la comenzó el profesor Virchow a finales del s. IX con la intención de crear un gran banco de estudio, algo así como una biblioteca de patológias.
Mi fascinación por esa enorme sala llena de estanterías cargadas de frascos de cristal fue instantánea, puesto que no solo fue el material que facilito a Virchow dar el primer paso hacia la medicina moderna, sino que también permite adentrarse en algo tan común y tan desconocido a la vez como es el funcionamiento del cuerpo humano.

The hobby of collecting includes seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining whatever items are of interest to the individual collector. Some collectors are generalists, accumulating merchandise, or stamps from all countries of the world. Others focus on a subtopic within their area of interest, perhaps 19th century postage stamps, milk bottle labels from Sussex, or Mongolian harnesses and tack.
collect
Collection(museum), objects in a particular field forms the core basis for the museum
Collection (mathematics), a set, class, family, or multiset;
In this project we shall be exploring the cultures of collecting and collecting in a consumer society. As a starting point and for inspiration we shall explore museum collections, criteria, archiving, displaying, sampling and online collections.
Within the context of textile and surface design we will study these collections and principles to develop our practical work. We will investigate strategies and mechanisms observed within collections. We will develop new materials, surfaces, processes, and/or objects.
There are fanatical collector s (collection of desire -Sport V Fashion V&A 2007), designer’s collections for inspiration (Film – ‘ps your mystery sender’ Paul Smith) and secret collectors who’s collections only come to light after their death. Designers such as Vivien Westwood and Hella Jougerius work closely with museum collections to draw inspiration for their work. Other collectors use their collections not only to draw inspiration but actually to create new objects and surfaces such as Quilts (V&A 2009) or in the work of Hew Locke or the Campana Brothers. We will also look at Future collections include projects such as Committee’s Plastic Relics Collection which has been designed as they imagined themselves in a future age, (perhaps a post-apocalyptic one). They juxtapose once mass-produced plastic forms found discarded in junk markets with plinth boxes made from traditional Japanese lacquer-ware. This project investigates aspects of material value, manufacturing and functional detail of these plastic parts which become pure abstract decoration when discarded. We will also explore Michel Eden’s Babel Vessel (2010) made from nylon with mineral coating. It’s integrated digital pattern behaves like a code, which can be read by an app on a smart phone creating a real-time hyper-link from object to a digital interface displaying a collection of information which can be added to by the visitor.

The city of Berlin has over 170 museums and galleries, which attract millions of visitors each year to its vast collections. This is the starting point for this project. In this project you are asked to explore a collection of your choice wither it be a personal collection, museum or gallery collection or online collection and develope a textile or surface response. Research visits will be made to Museum Of Things, Hamburger Bahnhof and Martin-Gropius-Ban’s exhibition ‘World Knowledge 300 Years of Science in Berlin’. In these exhibitions aspects of collecting, categorising, experimentation, observing, recording and travel are explored.
Currently in the UK the Museumaker project, which aims to unlock museum collections through imaginative interchanges between the heritage and contemporary artists and designers is on display. Examples of work by Clare Twomey and Susie MacMurray will be presented. Eleanor Pritchard who recently made work for the Museumaker project in response to Orleans House, London will present her project during a 5 day workshop which will take place at the Museum of Decorative Arts Berlin. A one day workshop with David Littler (London) titled Sampler Culture Clash will also take place alongside the main project. James Bosely and Jen Lapsley will visit from London Printworks Trust to present their work with fashion designers in London fashion week and collaborations in the projection of textile installation artworks.
