regarding a bit of curation.

dear all,

just got a call from pratibha regarding mention of some works missing form the consignment note she received from  gallery beyond. the mention of yeshwa's works and one large paper work is not there. 

i was told by pratibha that it was by job to look into this kind of stuff. obviously there is a vacuum in understanding the role of a curator...specially one who dopes not deal with art or make money form the sale of art in his/her curated shows. 

my role is to conceptualize the show and execute the conceptualization in terms of catalogue and display. of course on the side (at a personal level) i would not like my artists to be safe in terms of post sales money and consignment.....but sorry to have to assert that this is not my job.

right from the beginning i was clear where the work was being shown...and then when we had a chance to travel, there was a meeting held to say to what extent i was responsible etc.

what pratibha faces (till now) is a minor problem...one phone call and email away to solve...and am more than willing to help her solve it....but to be told am lacking in my job to solve it is personally unacceptable to me. 

best

rahul
