The mood of the Curatorial Smackdown is burning strong, and has found its way into our staff meeting this morning. I wouldn't quite call it intimidation, but there is some real curating action going on around here. With just one day left, nobody wants to make a mistake. But really, we're all in this together, and the only way for one person to win is for everybody to meet with some success in the realization of a strong exhibition.
Darryn felt that Cam's selection from today might look better between the Bozak and the Oonark. After getting a feel for the wall, the curators decide that sometimes a wall can actually be too balanced and in return, make the work on it seem dull and lifeless (comparatively speaking). In the end, the Urquhart goes back onto the right of the Bozak.
Cam, too, had some insight as to some placement changes that might help the flow exhibition. suggesting that Darryn's Milne jump over to the dreaded thermostat corner, assisting a transition into the other black paintings and the other way from dark realism to abstraction.
Cam is back at home in his office in the Sadie Knowles Gallery. Catching up from yesterday, Cam is now back on his feet and trying to toss his opponents around.
Is this the gallery through Lisa's eyes?
"Hey, what is that curator doing in the sight lines of my excellent selection from yesterday?"

Hey, nobody said that curating was easy!!!
Cam and Darryn listen to Lisa's reasoning to the selection and placement of a very nice Doris McCarthy watercolour.
