Editor: Here we have "Cadmium Yellow Deep," produced by The Harshaw Chemical Company. It's literally just pigment in a jar. What does it mean to display something like this? Curator: It invites us to consider the art world's infrastructure. Who decides what's art, and what role do institutions play in shaping that decision? The gallery bestows significance, almost sanctifying it. Editor: So, you're saying it's about the power dynamics within the art world itself? Curator: Precisely! We're forced to acknowledge the art world's often unseen players – like chemical companies – and question the criteria used to deem something worthy of display. Food for thought, isn't it?
