About the project

Miche Project is a notebook about art away from the wall: crates and loading docks, the backs of canvases, conservators' benches, storerooms, and the long routes a picture takes between one room and the next. Most writing about art stays with the image. These pages spend time with everything that keeps the image safe and lets people see it.

The entries are written for museum visitors more than specialists. Each one starts from something you could notice on an ordinary visit, a label, a bench, a crate in a service corridor, and follows it back to the people and the work behind it.
