Museums, Libraries and Archives as the Natural Resources of a Creative Age
This project highlights the evidence for the central importance of museums, libraries and archives to our future. By understanding their role as a public service, delivering public value, it will demonstrate what the sector does in terms of values that are intrinsic, instrumental and institutional, and show what they mean in practice.
MoMA and Tate Modern
at 10:28am on Thursday, 2nd November 2006
One of the most commonly heard criticisms of Tate Modern is the paucity of its collection in comparison with other major museums. This article in the New York Times makes for interesting reading, arguing that the collection has encouraged more creative curation down at Bankside.
There are also some interesting comments about the participatory nature of the Unilever commissions. One of the big points to be made about, say, Olafur Eliasson's Weather Project, or Rachel Whiteread's Embankment, is that they are shaped largely by the way that people engage with them. That's great to see in a major commission.
