Platt,
Interesting question you pose! I believe that museums should still exist
BUT I think the perception everyone has of this "great" art is just that -
perception. Now, how would I change anything? I don' think I would change a
museum. But I would change the way society sees art. I would teach our children
that DaVinci and Michealangelo were artists. I would show them their paintings
and sculptures. I would tell them that they are in museums for the world to see.
And then leave it alone.
In other words, I believe that "labeling" something instantly and
automatically creates a perception. A perception that molds other to think in a
particular way. There could be a whole world that loves a DaVinci painting. when we
have that we have an "agreement" not necessarily a WHOLE "value" or a WHOLE
"quality".
I am not sue if I answered your question. But, when people are thrown
perceptions they are led astray. Maybe that's something that can never be fixed
or changed. Hmmm....
