Curator 2: Aren’t they incredible…like it’s WAY BEYOND DRAWING ... it’s…it’s… art drawing.
C1: Totally. I mean there’s nothing wrong with our Goyas, like he can draw and all, but have you seen Robert of Tawa’s Self Portrait??
C3: Humbling. Talk about mastery of the pencil.
C2: And how about Ruth of Island Bay’s awesome drawing of a hand. It was so lifelike a fly landed on it.
C1: Up yours Durer (they all laugh)
C2: Now we need to get them out there. The public are gagging for drawings they can get really excited about.
C1: And who’s the best to make that sort of magic happen? Curators. And what are we?
C2 and C3: (as one voice) CURATORS!
C1: OK then, so let’s curate. Give the public a taste of some real creativity.
C3: We could theme them – I’ve always wanted to do that. Like, you know, portraits, landscapes, animals....
C2: That's inspired
C1: And let’s go all digital on it. Stick the best of the best at the top of the Te Papa Home page so everyone can see what great creative drawing is all about.
C2: Are we even allowed to do that?
They were. So that is what they did.
