An exhibition is in many ways a series of conversations. Between the artist and viewer, curator and viewer, and between the works of art themselves. It clicks when an exhibition feels like it has answered some questions and raised even more.

- - - - -On the day of her TedTalk, Leslie was introducing Luci and Maureen and me to some of the students who helped put it together. She identified one student and said, "He's the curator." She paused then added, "I don't even know what a curator is."
Maureen replied, "Leslie - you were a librarian. You KNOW what a curator is."
To me this is evidence that we all need friends who will tell us we know more than we think we know.
And we also need friends who will call us liars when we are lying.
And in the best of circumstances, those are a bundled skill set.
