I look at the gallery –
because it’s located in the library – as carrying
a vision of visual education. It always starts as an art exhibit,
so even when working on a cultural theme or any other particular
subject, I curate, design and present it as an art show.
I have a lot of ideas in my mind, and I just wait until I
have enough resources. Some exhibits are based on someone
I know who has a great collection. I want to show subjects
that haven’t had much exposure – that the students
have not had any contact with or are aware of – to regenerate
people’s curiosity.
A lot of students do not go to art museums or art galleries,
or even our art department galleries. They don’t even
know they’re over there. So I get a chance to refer
them back to something happening there, or to Grand Central.
I never want to present something until I really know it
can be pretty good – I have to satisfy myself first. |
