After watching the Sophie Calle clips I wondered, what exactly is her role? Thinking back to the MadV and PostSecret collectors, isn't she doing the same? She did not create any part of this "art". She did not write the letter, she did not make a response. All Calle did was collect things. She gave a prompt (similar to the flickr photo collections we looked at) and then compiled everyone's responses.
She deserves no more authorship than the guys behind PostSecret.
Also- Is a museum curator similar to Calle, MadV and PostSecret? The curator collects art but does not have authorship over any of them. What is the relationship of a museum curator to his/her art?
