Task 2: Curatorial Issue
Artwork, Curator and Space
* A discussion about curatorial issue and a visit to art gallery.
On 2 April 2015, we visit Publika in Damansara, Kuala Lumpur to talk to the curator at the art gallery in Publika. We enter one of the art gallery there known as Galeri Chandan and has a small talk about with the gallery curator. She explain to us about what is curator and what we should do when we going to start the exhibitions.
For example, as a curator we can look at the spaces, lightning, the theme of the exhibition and also the size of the artworks. The curator in art gallery and in museum is different from each other because of the setting in the museum and the gallery, where museum is full with artifacts and fragile their will permanently stay there, whereas the art gallery is according to the setting and the time of the theme of the exhibition conducted.
To be a curator, it doesn't have to has certificate, it usually focus your interest and you need to always have idea in setting the spaces and where you want to show the artwork to the audiences.
When we doing the visit, I see some of the curator sometimes doesn't show the artworks properly and the artwork look hidden from the audience. For example, I told my friends about the artwork that attract me and they say they doesn't see the artwork.
The artwork that we see in Chandan Art Gallery:
