This
week’s articles are mainly focused on the role of curator in a museum or a
gallery. What kind of an important role does a curator play. The objects that
we put in a museum are not always meant to be put after a point. Here the
curator’s part comes, where the curator has to exhibit in a way which bring the
significance of the object so properly. And this brings me to this conclusion
that how manipulative museums are. Whenever I visited museum I always relied on
the authenticity that they showed. But after reading the articles I won’t be
able to rely on the information they give. A curator or a museum can trick
people and instigate their thoughts. And whatever we read in history books and
the pictures that we saw in the books, thought the information are authentic,
we overlook them because of lack of the presentation skill. So here I feel a
good mutual understanding should happen between the objects and curators. There
should be balance between the fact and the manipulation. The author talks about
Rasa in Indian art. Even in biographical exhibition curators as well as the
historians play a very significant role in joining the dots in the story, so
here is the question how authentic are the lines between the dots by the
curators?
