museumuseu
The structure/project museumuseu [museummuseum] is rooted in a navigable scheme in Website format. A number of projects are connected to the questions posed in the structure, which may be used as a guide for a history of the artist’s production: activating and constructing archives, building or reorganizing collections, and conceiving institutions to incorporate collections and allow their visibility.

The updating of museumuseu’s Website has been on hold since 2009, but its structure — as a kind of indicative layout — may cover all Mabe Bethônico’s subsequent production and could incorporate more recent researches, works, and actions. Since 2013, the project Museum of Public Concerns has incorporated some of the works comprising museumuseu.
