Destabilizing the Ritual: The Democratic Art Museum
Go is interesting because it alters the way we traditionally curate art in museums. At the moment, curation is largely an undemocratic process -- a small circle of stakeholders, investors, academics and, of course, curators determine what will be housed in a museum. The process is mired in politics and contestations over history, memory and value; yet, the process is anti-political in the sense that it does not incorporate the political system the West holds so dear: democracy. In short and in the words of art historian Carol Duncan, the museum is a ritual.
