You may have thought you knew what you wanted prior to this post, but you didn’t; unless what you wanted was a museum dedicated to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen hiding from the paparazzi. If you wanted something else – like a new car or world peace – put a pin in those because we now have this. Brooklyn based comedians Viviana Olen and Matt Harkins have created an exhibit to the Ghosts of the Garment District trying not to be visible in the media. Viviana and Matt have museum experience; they opened THNK 1994 Museum in their apartment hallway. THNK 1994 is dedicated to the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan Scandal. When artist Laura Collins (who is brilliant) met with the pair to talk about donating some of her artwork for THNK 1994, the dream of the MKA Museum was born:

A really amazing group of people are making a museum dedicated to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and we would like to hug them. Matt and Viviana, two comedians from NYC, have teamed up with Chicago artist Laura Collins to bring you the “The Olsen Twins Hiding From the Paparazzi” exhibit. Paper magazine notes, the comedy duo has experience in the museum biz as the creators of the THNK1994 (which stands for Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan) museum which they set up in their NYC apartment (so smart!) a while back. In other words, they’re the perfect people to pull off this MKA extravaganza. Who knows, maybe the twins themselves will show up? Viviana told the mag, “I would hope they’d come in disguises.”

Their latest exhibit was inspired by Mary Kate’s wedding to Oliver Sarkozy, following the newspaper reports that the wedding featured “bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes.” Harkins and Olen go on to explain that “the Olsen Twins are true celebrities. Highly unrelatable. They have bowls (and bowls) of cigarettes at their weddings. Very chic.”

If they raise the funds necessary, the exhibit will run for two weeks in April. Even if you can’t donate to the Kickstarter, watch the video because it’s a hoot. In addition to the wall of Olsen hiding behind oversized objects portraits, there will be Kylie Jenner mid–wink artwork, Lisa Vanderpump Holding a Swan and, of course, a recreation of one of MK’s wedding reception tables complete with a bowl of cigarettes.

According to Dazed, Viviana and Matt say that yes, this is funny, but it is real. They explain, “People instantly assume it’s a joke, but it’s not. We’ve spent the last year running tours in our hallway museum and have taken what we promised to do seriously. But we are comedians so we try to make things as fun as we can. Our main initiative with this was to show Laura Collins’ art, and our role as curators is to present it in the most inviting and interesting way possible.”

You know I adore the Twins. I have a secret closet dedicated to the Twins, Anna Wintour and Victoria Beckham – all people who fascinate and terrify me simultaneously. I was going to take the Progeny to see their godfather in London but scrap that – I we would get so much more out of this.
