Hi Paola, I loved your idea of comparing guided museum/gallery and library tours, maybe it’s a question of libraries becioming more creative with their collections so they feel they have something to “show”, rather than just talk about. Like Katherine, I also liked the idea about inserting strategic blanks, getting people thinking, planting ideas.
I’m feeling inspired to go and see this exhibition now – one of my great, great grandfathers was a young Canadian photographer when he visited an exhibition in New York of photos of Australia in the late 19th century that inspired him to emigrate. So “photos and Australia” is a theme close to my heart, as I wouldn’t be here at all without them 😉
