CURATORIAL ISSUES

A curator is the person responsible for a specific collection in a cultural heritage institution ( such as an archive, a library, or a museum ). The curator specializes in  a object relevant to the collection and is deeply informed about the content it contains. This person is responsible for selecting material to go into the collection like writing documentation, reports, and catalogs that describe the material like overseeing its maintenance and preservation and often performing other activities such as publishing research on the collection, arranging to meet with researchers who want to use or learnt about the collection, and other activities. A curator may be a librarian, an archivist, a historian, or hold an advanced degree in any of a number of subjects.
 For this curatorial issues we do a visit to the Publica and visit all the gallery in there. We can see all the arrangement of the art work have the difference arrangement in all the gallery.

After look around and enjoy the art after that one of the curator at the gallery came out and introduce her self and she explain about what curator do and she also told us that if u want to be a good curator you need to do a visit to other gallery and saw how they arrange all the art in the gallery. To be a curator you also need to know the suitable place for the art so example the art that need more light and which art that need a bigger space. She also told us that to be curator you cannot learnt at the collage or any where it a gift for you to be a curator you just need a chance to polish your ability and it no need a curator background to be a curator. when you be a curator there need a paper work and the most important is the idea how you want the gallery to look like. Other than that the budget also play an important part to push our creativity, the huge budget you have the more creativity thing you can do.
