“Buried Treasures” consists of a sectional sofa packed with collected items that were either broken or obsolete, but no one had the heart to throw away. These unwanted objects were gathered from various city government agencies, local businesses, and individuals who held onto the hope that these outdated materials would eventually have a new use. Some of these “treasures” have been creatively classified and curated into the built-in display areas of the couch. Museum goers are welcomed to lounge, take off the cushions, open up the seats, explore the contents, and devise new arrangements for these modern artifacts.
