Nico,

Clever museum subject. For a discussion of the representational frame in theatre, art, and film, you might look into Spencer Golub's INFINITY STAGE (I include Google Books reference below). The introduction is particularly good on frames and framing, and the book is also an interesting model of "nested" scholarship.

Nico,

What about some simpler approaches?
"This book shows you how to create your own unique picture frames using things you can find around your home." Picture Frames by Susie Hodge.
"How to Make Your Own Picture Frames"
by Ed Reinhardt, Hal Rogers
Most of these other things cannot be produced by the average person, but frames can be. How does that cause us to relate to them?
