I want to come clean with
you guys about something.

反身代名詞

When I worked at an art museum,
I had that official title.

But now I'm taking a bit
of liberty with the term.

So let's talk about
what a curator actually

is and whether or not I have
any right to call myself one.

These days you hear the word
curator all over the place.

He curates a collection
of vintage sneakers.

She curated our music
selection this evening.

So the word curator comes
from the Latin curo, curare,

which for our application
means to care for, to see to,

So a curator is a person
who cares for something

I used to care for contemporary
art as a curator at a museum.

Being a curator for a
collection-- whether it's

to care for that collection
or part of the collection

by a museum or other institution
that owns those things.

And you were are hired because
you have some special knowledge

So you're either a specialist
or on the road to becoming

a specialist, and there's
a reason why you're better

suited to steward the
collection than a random person

And you have to know that
collection in and out.

You study it, you sort
it, you write about it,

you talk about it with
other specialists,

and continually try to
expand your own education

Figure out what needs
conservation and think

about what's missing
from the collection.

Then you agitate and fund
raise to fill the gaps

through acquisitions,
commissioning, exhibitions,

Then comes the part
where you are arrange

Let's call this step instead
presenting the collection

This is done by making
exhibitions, writing books,

essays, blog posts, labels,
giving tours and lectures,

training tour guides,
writing press releases,

Some things are more
self evident than others,

and it's the job of
the curator to provide

When you're dealing
with contemporary art,

Maybe the artist doesn't
want any explanation

of the artwork in the room with
the art, but you, the curator,

some tiny morsel of information
to effectively engage

So you try to make the artist
see your point of view.

like posting information
in a nearby gallery

or in a pamphlet or book
or audio guide or online.

Basically, you're the
middleman or the midwife

or the mediator between the
material and the audience.

with the tools they need to have
the best experience possible

and what's too much, what's
too academic and art speaky,

and what's pandering,
or overly simplified.

can have a really diverse
audience with vastly

Maybe you create labels
or guides specifically

OK, so what happens
when you're a specialist
