How does someone decide to become an art historian, a curator, or an art conservator? What kind of training and exposure do they need? In this episode, university senior Elisabeth Hunt discusses her background at Brigham Young University as an art history and curatorial studies major and her time in New York this summer working as the gallery assistant at the Center Gallery. What is it like to work in an art gallery and interact with the public? As an example, she describes a generational difference of viewing art—the consequences of the saturation of images that younger people experience through social media upon their fine art viewing—and the reactions she has witnessed of visitors from the general public to the gallery in New York City.
Music for this episode was recorded as ambient sounds of jazz street musicians outside the Center Gallery, traffic sounds, and the video artwork, "Let us rejoice," by Maddison Colvin that opens the exhibition, Great Awakening: Vision and Synthesis in Latter-day Saint Contemporary Art.
