from the series "how the art used to be exhibited"

When I was in the PGC my dear Carley made her seminar on the significance of the way that sculpture is exhibited and perceived by the public, on its impact on the sense of the work.
With the mass tourism and a huge popularity of the most important museums the question "how the art used to exhibited" can be a nice guide for the biggest world collections: altar in front of Mona Lisa in Louvre (and two paintings of Titian next to it, that are totally "invisible" for the public), " Nike of Samothrace" on the top of Daru staircase in the same museum, guides for the National Gallery with signs how to find the "Sunflowers" by Van Gogh end so on...

The point is that almost every art (especially sculpture) is site specific, made for a specific space and with an aim. Art in the museum lives his life after life.
