I want to bring back the human encounter into places where material things have a prime status. In a museum, you're supposed to look at things and not talk to other people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every museum is full of nice things. That's the opposite of before. It was important things or serious things. Now we have interesting things.
Outside museums, in noisy public squares, people look at people. Inside museums, we leave that realm and enter what might be called the group-mind, getting quiet to look at art.
Museums, I think, are becoming more and more aware of how to turn themselves into a must-see spectacle.
Museums are like the quiet car of the world. It's a place you can come to escape, where there's authenticity, there's uniqueness, there's calm, there's physicality.
Museums are good things, places to look and absorb and learn.
Shouldn't a great museum foster serious seeing before all else?
What would I put in a museum? Probably a museum! That's an amusing relic of our past.
Some of our greatest historical and artistic treasures we place in museums; others, we take for walks.
A museum should not just be a place for fancy paintings but should be a place where we can communicate our lives through our everyday objects.
A lot of our insights are based on the ways in which people spend time at museums. They're curious, open, interested, and engaging. They want to express themselves and see their own identity refracted through the museum's.
