And there is no one Individual. There are the individuals in the community, those who enter the galleries, often without knowing what to expect or how to process what they see, those who self-identify with the art world and keep up with these things, some of whom also happen to work in the Museum (yes, capital--or is it Kapital?--M). Suzanne, I found your choice of "Man Leaning on Wall" particularly interesting as a first post because it is so clearly about the edge where museum meets community. It's about testing the permeability of that fortress facade. I think the insitutional intention should be to hear from LOTS of individuals. Thanks for opening the door. “make visible the line between, or the convergence between, The Institution and The Individual.” And there is no one Individual.
