What To Do, What To Do Pt. 2 (more developed research idea)

A few weeks have passed since I last wrote about what I may be interested in researching for my colloquium paper and I think I have finally decided on one. For my research project, I think I will be focusing on the inclusion of writing in museums, such as poems, quotes, etc. The questions that I would try an answer are: 1. How is writing being defined once placed in a museum? 2. How can writing be a considered a work of art? 3. What is the significance of the writing or what role does it take on once it is in a museum or art exhibition?

I decided on this because I think it will be a great way to get me out and into the city even more, while also getting to learn and experience so many new places. I have also never really noticed this being done in the states and is interesting to see that being done here. I love writing and it is a massive part of who I am as an individual. I don't know where I'd be without my pen and paper, so I think this is why this topic catches my attention. I just feel that by placing writing or quotes in a museum/exhibition the definition of what writing/literature is altered and rewritten. I am curious to know what is trying to be said in doing this. I don't think this is a topic in which I can find a definite right or wrong answer, but I also think that's what makes it so great.
