Photos of similar objects placed in other contexts I guess one shouldn't push the 'blog' comparison too far, but it's fun to imagine that thinking in blog terms opens up for other ways of thinking exhibitions. For example, I've never before entertained the idea that one could have an exhibition that grows step by step in public. Suggestions for a blog-exhibition:
