What does it take to produce an exhibition in a museum? Is it just a matter of putting artifacts and artworks on a pedestal for display? Museum intern Chiam Zhi Quan reflects on the process from his behind-the-scenes perspective.
Zhi Quan, an intern at the NUS Museum, reflects:
While the creation of art is important, the preservation of it is as crucial, although it is often overlooked. When exposed to an artwork, most people like me will immediately relate it to an artist or a specific art movement without any acknowledgement to those that have committed to put the work on display. The process of bringing in an artwork (or artifact) to exhibiting it is a tedious process that requires thorough planning. In order to achieve project success, these plans have to be coordinated and communicated both within and between the museum and external stakeholders such as art movers, artists and donors.
