I had a chance this spring to be in the cultural Mecca of Northern Florida, Gainsville.
There was an interesting exhibit at the
A Closer Look: Art and Museums.
“This exhibition examines some key issues faced by museums in these areas of their operations. The exhibition is designed to inform visitors about the strategic decisions that underlie the presentation of art in museums, with the hope that this information will heighten the visitors’ critical awareness and enjoyment of those institutions”
The show was divided into five thematic sections: Defining Art, Collecting Art, Displaying Art, Interpreting Art, and Preserving Art. In the Defining Art area there was a display about art and craft.
This was the text panel was posted by the exhibit.
(What, I didn’t take a picture of the exhibit, just the text panel?)
