Find something in your environment that would not be considered art (an object, a structure, a series of marks, etc.) and create a museum label for it.
Your label should give a new, surprising, or special meaning to this object.
The Museum label must include: title, author, date, media, and description. The description must be minimum 100 words. Your description should add contextual information or interpret the object. The information on the label does not have to be factual - your label can be fiction or nonfiction. See the examples of curatorial descriptions and labels at the end of the Ready Made lecture.
Turn in: a slide with your photo, label info (title, author, date, media), the 100 word description. If everything does not fit on one slide, you can use additional slides. Save the slides in your personal IVA folder.
