Abstract
Through photographs and descriptions, we will discuss the theory behind semi-commercial amateur collecting: consignment and thrift. Our paper focuses on collections that show obvious curatorial intent or direction and present them as the collector intended. This is a popular and accessible form of curation and expression in the lives of people who are not the standard patrons or benefactors of traditional museum collections. We explore systems theory and others as practiced by the “lay-curator.” This provides new and inclusive perspectives for museum professionals to consider candid forms, styles, and systems for exhibition and presentation.
