Mashing Up the Community at MLA2009

Hi David:
I really enjoyed your presentation this morning at the MLA conference and I spoke to you after about Joseph Cornell and his use of assemblage (sort of a mash up of actual objects) and how he used boxes to frame his work. This strikes me as a great example of non-technical mash up and also plays with the “out of the box” theme, because his out of the box thinking actually used boxes. Here is the obvious link to Wikipedia which includes the Peabody Essex Museum exhibit I mentioned as a resource at the end. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Cornell

Regards, Rob
