Museum of Corruption (MoC) is a transnational interdisciplinary platform for researching, contextualizing and displaying a virtual collection of corruption mechanisms, both in legal and in an ethical sense through practical, theoretical and critical assessment using contemporary museology methods. MoC aim is to bring back trust to the integrity of institutions and mechanisms of democracy by treating critically the phenomenon of corruption.
MoC aims to reframe the notion of corruption from the abuse of power to the moral inability of individuals to put the wellbeing of the community above their own interest. It invites personal ethics to work for the common good. Following up on the idea of museums as “cemeteries of art” (as held by Malevich, Soviet Avant-Garde, Italian Futurism) i. e. the places where art ceases to exist by being displaced from real-life contexts, the project intends to, by manipulating the notion of corruption, museum and contemporaneity, move corruption from real-life situations into a museum setting – and bury it there.
