<An exhibition is like
<an essay where the artworks function as quotations by experts.
An exhibition is a work of art, a piece of commuinication, an installation
created by a curator, and as such we have to hope that at the very least the
artists whose work is to be included will be consulted in this.
The public does not get to see the atrwork raw, but (in a Gallery context)
this installation work. In this case, it surprises me how relatively
uncommon a combination artist + curator is within one individual. We have to
hope that the thing which the public will be permitted to access is at least
a collaboration betwen the artist and the curator. It is flattering to be
quoted as an expert, but I hope sometimes people will read my whole book...
