I have always been a behind-the-scenes kind of girl, from my time working backstage in theater to my current curiosity about how exhibitions come together. So I loved the week-long series the Guardian ran at the beginning of February where they did some extensive coverage on "the people who make arts happen." For example, the current Tate Triennial of new British art at Tate Britain Altermodern granted Jonathan Jones a unique chance to see how some of its crazy installations got installated:
Altermodern is a particularly raucous and installation-heavy show, but even Adrian Searle in his review notes that "it is also the richest and most generous Tate Triennial to date. It is also the best-installed." It took a small army of people to make that possible, each with their own important role, and if you're confused about what separates an art handler from a co-curator Jones's handy glossary about the exhibition will help you out. Then click here for some great photos from the Triennial's installation, including a fabulous image of artist Matthew Darbyshire putting his mom to work.
