They don't need to be selected. Selectors often are not most competent. Real competence identifies itself by making a helpful mark on everything it touches. Boris Shoshensky

Historically -- at least in Chicago -- the jury for national shows once consisted of those artists whose work had been selected for national shows in previous years. This of course, would tend to entrench older styles rather than introduce new ones -- and the artists were eventually replaced by museum professionals. Today, of course, it is galleries rather than artists who are juried into the major national shows - so expertise concerns marketability - while museum exhibits are juried by professional curators who are qualified by academic and institutional achievement. (ie., first they must have a degree, then they must rise within the ranks of an institution) But what do you think, Boris? How do you think that competent people with discerning taste and knowledge can best be identified ? >I meant a majority within experts, who are few.
