Based on anthropological methodology—or ethnography—each “citizen” being curated will be asked a series of questions to help identify the objects or “artifacts” that tell their story. Each highlighted artifact will be accompanied with a synthesis of factual information regarding the treasured item (origin, dates, creators/designers, materials, etc., as would appear on a museum placard) plus the personal stories that give them their unique pricelessness. The final product is personalized "ethnographic visual scrapbook”: a curated look at your personal artifacts, featuring both curatorial prose and a process of documentation --- photography, audio and/or video capture. Commissioning a Curated Citizen project is just as much about engaging in an experience as it is producing a record of that process. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d89ee12afad6b391d45c0ba/t/5d9cc42796affb4a457bd9f6/1570554934541/Screen+Shot+2019-01-14+at+4.29.01+PM.png How it Works https://www.citizencurated.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-10-02 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d89ee12afad6b391d45c0ba/t/5db0738bc894034e9cde4cd2/1571845021883/Screen+Shot+2019-10-03+at+10.12.36+AM.png Contact https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d89ee12afad6b391d45c0ba/t/5d94853a4e3b03348265d993/1558965382740/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://www.citizencurated.com/home daily 1.0 2019-09-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d89ee12afad6b391d45c0ba/t/5d89ff47b2c0af5ac4e85763/1571844202614/Screen%252BShot%252B2019-01-14%252Bat%252B4.27.39%252BPM.jpg Home - How it Works: Based on anthropological methodology—or ethnography—each “citizen” being curated will be asked a series of questions to help identify the objects or “artifacts” that tell their story.

He had just bought an apartment that I was planning to move into, at least for part of the time. We began to do all the domestic shopping of a nesting couple, spending the day at a furniture warehouse in Brooklyn. We were getting to the point in our relationship where we would either get engaged or I would break it off. As we walked back to the train we went into a bodega for a drink and spotted a gum ball machine. Jason put in some change and out came this ring. Down on bended knee he asked me to marry him … though it wasn’t the official proposal, I wore it on my hand —- which turned green from the fake metal —- until the real proposal happened a few weeks after. I’m sure this would end up in the trash if you didn’t know the story.”
