Max Juren and Jill Pangallo have made a video collection about collections called The Collections and it’s like nothing you have ever seen. So you should see it. Plus, it’s hilarious!

Inspired by Ann Stephenson’s poem of the same name, the series features twelve short interviews with local collectors – culled both from Craigslist and Austin’s art community -  about what they save and why they save it.  Juren and Pangallo used these stories as jumping-off points to create their multi-genre video and performance work.
