I propose the building of a ‘museum collection’ that consists entirely of audio-descriptions of artworks, which can be used as a resource to curate exhibitions containing no objects. The collection will hold no visual/material forms at all (writing included), its artefacts being audio recordings of existing historical/contemporary artworks being described by individuals who have been invited to contribute.

The proposal contends that how a work is described can be thought as a critical, political, and social action, whilst remaining a practical necessity for those with partial or no sight. It necessitates a set of decisions about what information/language is foregrounded/privileged, or considered ‘foundational’; and reveals structures of power and assumptions of knowledge/experience.
