The concept of collecting contemporary art may be becoming redundant. Since artistic forms as well as the mass media are changing all the time, how to collect these art works and present them afresh to the public becomes a challenge. Putting artist’s private collection of objects with little value, as well as the art works inspired by those collection in a show case intended for displaying antiquities of inestimable value in a museum for more than one month, is in itself a kind of art form.

收藏在當代藝術中可能是一種老話，新的媒體和藝術形式在不停地改變，如何收藏和重新展現給大眾，反而是一件有趣的話題。在一個本來存放珍貴古董文物的博物館展櫃裏，放置藝術家的賤價私人收藏品和所引發的作品一個多月，本身已是一種藝術形式的變奏。
