Step 10. Creepin' upWhen curatorial standards slip so low that video art (appropriated) objects are acquired without useful data, means other than referring to museum records have to be used to recover something of the human experience behind these objects. For example, artistic conceptualist/para-performative artist-historian L.C. von Sukmeister has experimented with single shot sony techniques in MAMCO, and in so doing he has tested the assumptions that lie behind MAMCOs in- and exclusion mechanisms. Through the study and use of the art historical data and research generalizations, stereotypes and artists such as Sylvie Fleury, Nathalie Djurberg, Matthew Barney and the dirty dog Martin Sastre can be confronted. In the case of OPERATION SILVER FLOWER. OR HOW TO BURN SWISS MONEY (2008) Von Sukmeister was able to challenge the notion that promises and the institutional progress of the contemporary art museum were unthinkingly conservative, and can now argue through the evidence of their experimentation and experience that it was instead given to ingenuity and adaptability.
