Visual Art Hey, A Curator!
posted by on January 9 at 11:00 AM
Since the Museum of Glass in Tacoma lost its inaugural curator in 2003, it has hobbled along with contractors, administrators, and pre-packaged exhibitions. Finally, the museum—which recently announced its decision to collect—has decided to devote a staff position to the job of, you know, overseeing the art.
The new curator, effective this week, is Melissa G. Post, most recently assistant director of the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design in Hendersonville, North Carolina. She has a curatorial background at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, and she holds a master’s of arts degree in the history of decorative arts, design, and culture from the Bard Graduate Center in New York City.
Glass art makes me want to die.
Well, I am sure Dale Chihuly would be happy to make an appropriate urn for you ashes, for a mere $100,000 or so.
Start saving now, and maybe you can die soon.
Glass art makes me wish for earthquakes.
Wow, glass-shattering news.
There's a lot more to glass art than Chihuly, ya'll.
I hope she uses her connections to curate some historic decorative arts/glass art shows, a welcome respite from the post-1970s craft bullshit we normally get shoved down our throats out here.
