Remixing the Readymade Archive: DIY Portable Museums (for the West Space Reading Room) brings together works by Second Year RMIT Interior Design Students, led by artist Masato Takasaka, as part of a 12-week Specialisation Subject undertaken in the Interior Design Program, School of Architecture and Design, RMIT University.

In this exhibition, students present a series of fictional archives composed through a process of exploring entwining narratives derived from readymade objects and from found material within the West Space archive. Initially producing a desktop assemblage, the students extrapolated the project into a Duchampian style portable museum. The resulting propositions function both as artwork and as presentations for displaying fragments of the West Space Reading Room Archive.
