Curatorial.

No, but we have given great thought ourselves to defining the word "quality"
as it applies to contemporary art (our exhibition focus)--i.e., what
determines what is of "good" quality vs. "bad" quality?  We have not yet
come to any conclusions, so don't all email me for our results.  If someone
is interested in opening the discussion to the list, please feel free.
