See incoming works at the Ontological Museum Blog
Bruno Neiva Collage
It is hard to keep up with all the great works coming in. But it is fun! The mission of the museum is to create a collection that is gathered together like a scientific museum that collects rocks or bugs or perhaps like an anthropological museum. It is a cultural record of contemporary art that is unique, in that it is not based on artists being famous or based on the collections of wealthy collectors like most art museums are. It is an artist oriented museum developed around living connections to artists.
