Comments on: The Museum of Broken Relationships http://artculture.com/urbanity/the-museum-of-broken-relationships Contemporary Art, Innovation and Design Tue, 28 Jun 2011 00:24:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: peter prato http://artculture.com/urbanity/the-museum-of-broken-relationships#comment-339 peter prato Mon, 17 Dec 2007 01:16:20 +0000 http://www.artculture.com/art-design-features/the-museum-of-broken-relationships#comment-339 A friend had sent the link to this article just a few days ago, but it wasn't until tonight that I would end up reading it, only a couple of hours after the exchange that would be the period marking the end of a relationship of mine that has spanned the last two years. Though we separated a year ago, it wasn't until tonight that it ended. We know when we know. I don't have anything to offer the museum, but I'm thankful that a place exists where we can use art to pay homage to the pain and natural existence of love and desire and everything else that remains hidden in each of these pieces. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the collection and more to the intellectual point that resonates for me- the capacity for human beings to store their emotions in material possessions. But without the people to whom each piece is related, there is a silence into which empties the thoughts of each viewer which, undoubtedly, return to the loves they themselves have lost. I liked this article very much, and if possible, please let Ms. Vistica know that I appreciate her making artwork more accessible.
