"A curator's choice can only reflect the broadness of his expertise. Curators are not recording machines without biases."
I agree with that. "Subjectiveness is what keeps art alive / evasive/ and unteachable." Subjectives is a part of objectiveness. Art is teachable as a skill. Creativity is not. It is evolving potential of everybody to different degree. "Good ,better,and best are all unprovable biased illusions in art." I have to disagree. Ageless masterpieces accepted by the most of the world and made it better is a prove. It is not saccharine sentimentality it is a honey truth.
