Hi my name is Lisa and I am using my friend's access to this list to ask
you a question. I have been assigned to "curate" a collection (A very
large one) of videos and sculptures generated by a single artist. My
understanding of curating is that I am to collect these things together
from the various places they have ended up and arrange restoration of the
pieces and films that need it in preparation for a permanent museum (I
have to start that up too) that will display this work. I have only
archival and storage experience with textiles and paintings, not active
display. I am kind of freaking out and no one I know has the time to help
me with some advice. When you are a curator, presented with a large body
of work to prepare for display, what exactly do you do? I am to submit a
budget soon and this is what I will have it consist of: Costs for
shipping, amount charged for restoration, rents of possible sites for
display. What other things do I need to consider costs of? Any help
comments and advice will be appreciated. I was thrown into this and I
would really like to make it work. THANK YOU
