The purpose of this reading was to better understand the curatorial process and what the responsibilities of an exhibition maker are. The ultimate responsibility of the person creating an exhibition is the artwork. Their responsibility to art is met by making a lot of decisions, lighting, signage, fonts, wall color, brochures etc. They must make all of these decisions in the best interest of the art so it can be consumed by the audience in its intended form. This means it must aid the purpose of the work, talk to the artist about that, and not change the perspective.
