Ryan Gander as a curator

Night in the Museum - Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

"The role of curator is one of gathering and collecting, grouping and assembling- instincts innate in all of us. Choosing what clothes you put on in the morning, what objects you arrange on the mantelpiece or even what to eat when friends come to dinner are all curatorial acts...Just because we are not knowingly being creative and curatorial, doesn't mean we are not being curatorial and creative."- Ryan Gander

This exhibition questioned the role of the curator as a mediator between art and the public, looking beyond traditional relationships; changing the relationship between the contemporary and traditional art, and the viewer, in some kind of weird art threesome. 

• Could think about other ways to present work together, rather than just putting a painting in a frame on a wall.
• Consider space in a different way, galleries have lots of empty space, how can you use it better?
• Are there any themes that run through the work which can be used to link it together? (i.e. blue)
• Think about how the viewer will see it
