This is something I've encountered regularly in my work looking at disability in museum collections. Depictions of disability, particularly in artworks, are highlighted as curio's, but only ever to ask the "Why", very rarely the "How", "What" or even "Who". The result, in my experience, sometimes mean that curators end up taking the same conclusion to every depiction, which ultimately ends up narrowing our perception of disabled people's place in historical events. That's why the greater inclusion of d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in the museum, arts and heritage sector is so important and why projects like Curating for Change are vital to help begin to shift practices and perspectives.
Missed interpretive opportunities: This fellow caught my eye following my visit to the Van Gogh exhibition. The explanatory text panel says the artist was "ordered to paint him in this derisive fashion as punishment for his impertinence." That is, it seems determined that we should read the painting on the patron's terms and not that of the artist, let alone the person depicted. There is no attempt to suggest the chained disabled man even had a name (it may be lost to history, but let's say so). Just because the Cardinal saw him as a naughty pet doesn't mean we should. What are we to make of the rest of the painting being about Apollo slaying a) a giant, and b) a giant with a non- normative number of eyes? What does the loss of breeches as punishment suggest about the impertinence - in a culture where breeching made boys into men?

Lewis Hyde ("The Gift") describes the dynamics of art as resembling gift economies, where a potentially life-changing gift (art, music, an apprenticeship) can inspire gratitude. Then we might labor in gratitude to resemble certain (most needed or loved?) aspects of the gift or the giver. If we truly feel the gift's potential to change us, we are not released from "the labor of gratitude" until we have been changed and perhaps passed on the gift. What religions describe as the transformative process of regret and contrition resembles aspects of the gift economy and labor of gratitude that Hyde describes. If we recognize that we have harmed another (or neglected artists?), we might labor with that regret until we have repented of the harm and the habits that led us to it. When remarkable artists are discovered only (or mostly) posthumously, perhaps our collective regret and shame recalls the rich man who neglected the beggar at his gate, only to glimpse the beggar in the afterlife, embraced at the bosom of Abraham, while others burn in fires? Repentance in such a context may require being open to new arts and developing artists, and firm in a resolve that there should be no starving artists (or starving, at all)? #art #artists #gifts #talents #gratitude #regret #change #transformation
Collage, a small tribute to Amedeo Modigliani and Jeanne Hébuterne (the last photomontage is mine, taken from vintage pictures). They didn't live long enough to become famous and wealthy like some of their luckier colleagues, but art critics and market, even cinema, have been extremely generous, albeit posthumously and with one of them :-( I feel we have a debt and perhaps a remorse toward artists as Hébuterne, Modigliani, Van Gogh... I don't know exactly what kind of it and what possible reparation, here and now, but reliably we have something like that.

Much better implementation of Phigital.
I'm inspired 💡 by the work of swiss 🇨🇭 artist MARCK, who in this collection explores the marriage between video content and installation, but these are more than a simple combination of video and sculpture: They are a logic consequence of his extensive examination with films and videos, multimedia based projects, performances, music and sculptural as well as kinetic objects. 📍 Visit Marck's solo exhibition "Marck's Playground" at Bluerider ART London. 🕐 from March 14th 2024 - May 26th 2024 @blueriderartlondon "For the viewer it is unclear what is reality and what is film. Especially as our viewing habits suggest to us that what we see in the monitor is always a video. MARCK thus deceives our sensory perception and lets us think that where there is a real object there is in fact a film." #artandculture #artinstallation #multimedia #art

Claude Monet was a French artist who was one of the founders of Impressionism and one of the most influential artists of the late 19th century. He is regarded as an important precursor to Modernism due to his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it.

This means that different types of labels can be alternately placed in the machine to create a variety of packaged chocolate. In this example we used labels of famous paintings. The real question then becomes whether the packaging process or the label is the art part!
