My pedestal is built to recognize the museum's power in contemporary art, in some ways how the institution of the museum has become more important to some people than the art itself. To represent this, I fashioned this conical stand to display miniscule pieces of art. At four feet tall, its display area is about one-half inch wide, and the viewer can use the affixed magnifier to aid in their appreciation of what art the pedestal can display.
After considering the relation of art to the museum, I thought about how this representation of the museum could behave and interact with other objects and locations, sometimes to humorous effect.
