There are curators. And then there are “Curators of Interpretation” who in the UK are “increasingly important people in the world of art, under a government that makes its grants to public galleries conditional upon the ‘accessibility’ of the works they display. It is their job to make the exhibits accessible to the masses, by helping Joe Public to see the point of what he is being shown. They also have an expanding role in deciding how exhibitions should be mounted, so as to make them welcoming and instructive to philistines like me.”
