""What was apparent was the values and gains that came from breaking down silos," says Britt Salvesen, the head of the museum's departments of photography and prints and drawings."
""I don't see it as flattening so much as I see it as an enlivening," says Leah Lehmbeck, the head of the departments of European painting and sculpture and American art."
""A structuring principle that was first proposed by the museum's junior curators-using bodies of water as curatorial nodes-emerged as a powerful way to enliven the collection.""
LACMA's chief executive, Michael Govan, promotes interdisciplinary thinking among curators, leading to innovative exhibitions that blend contemporary photography with ancient textiles and other art forms. The new curvilinear building allows for the collapse of rigid categories, inviting curators to explore connections across various disciplines. This approach enriches the understanding of art, as artists historically drew inspiration from multiple sources. A curatorial principle using bodies of water as thematic nodes highlights the historical circulation of ideas and objects, enhancing the museum's collection through new perspectives.
