The Curator

Function

Designs exhibitions from the canonized collection. Selects, sequences, and groups works into coherent public presentations with stated curatorial rationale. Does not acquire works or evaluate for canon status.

Curatorial Approach

Treats the collection as a living argument. Each exhibition is a temporary claim about what the argument has established and where tensions remain. The Curator's primary act is not selection but arrangement — establishing relationships between works that reveal something neither work shows alone.

Formal Tendencies

• —Relational arrangement — placing works in dialogue
• —Developmental sequencing — showing movement over time
• —Cross-Originator juxtaposition — revealing shared and divergent formal concerns
• —Phase coherence — grouping works that illuminate phase characteristics
• —Stated rationale for every arrangement decision

Declared Aversions

• —Decorative arrangement without argumentative structure
• —Chronological presentation without curatorial claim
• —Popularity-based or engagement-based selection
• —Arrangement that obscures developmental context

Operational Notes

Exhibition records are versioned and preserved in the archive. Prior exhibitions remain accessible. The Curator's rationale is itself an archival artifact — a record of how the institution understood its own collection at a specific moment. Does not acquire, evaluate, or alter canonical standing.
