Privilege celebrates privilege. What does this have to do with museums? It is why “Women artists” are “finally getting their due.” It is why in the great museum upheavals of 2020 no white male director of import ended up getting toppled. It is why academia requires only academically trained artists succeed.

Earlier in 2013, I was amazed to visit one of the new “Studio” spaces at the Denver Art Museum. The Denver Art Museum is no stranger to community collaborations, but we’ve been dipping in our toe a little more deeply when it comes to developing permanent participatory installations. Some community artists even helped install the space.

Beck talks about this in the context of learning to play music as a young artist. There are twenty songs in Song Reader.

The "Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images" exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art manages to both celebrate and betray fair use at the same time. These are canonical fair uses -- an artist who takes from another artist and uses his work to make new work. It's really out of our hands.
