Sketches: Organizing Arts

Front Cover
Green Lantern Press, 2007 - Art - 52 pages
Cultural Writing. Art. Just as an artist must defer to his or her idea, the curator of an exhibition must defer to the art. And, for the same reasons that an artist's sketches, revisions, and failures don't hang on the wall next to the finished project, a curator's notebooks, memos, and emails should remain behind the scenes. SKETCHES illustrates what ideas look like when they are forming. Green Lantern published this book with the hope that arts administrators of all kinds can pick it up, flip through its pages and become inspired. It is also great in that non-arts administrators can see the mess behind the Wizard of Oz. This communal collection of "sketches" will pass ideas for exhibitions, organizational structures, or academic projects between colleagues and strangers in an effort to connect people and expand thinking on arts administration.
