Post-Modern Museum of Art (PoMoMoA)

I have had this idea- its more of a conceptual idea that leads to artistic ideas. I want to curate an exhibit and called it the Post-Modern Museum of Art (or PoMoMoA).
The exhibit would feature several pieces of arts that accentuate several post-modern ideals- including metaphor, representation, and the overall questioning of "What Is Art?"
Piece ideas:
-What is art? Use the same placards for all art peices (the thing that says the name of the artists and art piece title, etc) and place them on all objects- such as fire extinguishers, tiolets, tables, etc)
-Representation:
-Place painting across from mirror but only label the mirror image as the art.
-Metaphor?
-Empty frame on painted wall
-what is/isn't art?
-Pin the Plaque on the piece- have several pieces of "found art" and each has a square with a piece of velcro- the viewer gets to decide what is art and what is not.

...more to come.
