点评:This museum is exceptionally well curated and has a great collection of art. They have primarily temporary exhibits, with what seem like a few permanent fixtures otherwise.
The exhibits this time were some collected Northwest photographers, especially Asian immigrants, on the one side, and Northwest women painters on the other. Both exhibits were excellent, but both also fell into the common art museum curation issue of having either far too much or too little information on each piece. Particularly, the Northwest women exhibit included several essay-length segments on each woman, which, when combined, would be about the length of a full chapter of a nonfiction book. Difficult to process that much information and also digest the art.
Still, the museum chose excellent displays and arranged the art well. Definitely a worthwhile stop.
翻译:这个博物馆的策展非常出色,收藏了大量艺术品。他们主要是临时展览,除此之外,还有一些看起来像是永久展览的东西。
这次的展览一方面是一些西北摄影师的作品,尤其是亚洲移民,另一方面是西北女画家的作品。两个展览都很精彩,但也都陷入了艺术博物馆策展的常见问题:每件作品的信息要么太多,要么太少。特别是西北女性展览包括了关于每个女性的几段论文长度的片段,这些片段加起来大约相当于一本非小说类书籍的一整章。很难处理这么多的信息,也很难消化这些艺术作品。
不过,博物馆选择了出色的展示,并很好地安排了艺术品。绝对值得一看。
