Use archival materials and don't frame what you wish wouldn't show up at the museum. I wonder, though, if the museum serving the public isn't very close to serving the artist. It seems to me that the artist wants his art to be collected, preserved and shown. I am particularly interested in the changes at some museums from a target mission of collecting/archiving to one of the traveling show. I know of one that sold off collections of local art in order to afford participation in traveling exhibits. Opinions? I completely agree with treating one’s art as if will be in the museum.
