Abstract (en)

Discusses the recent practice of inviting artists to select shows from museums' permanent collections and suggests that museum curators might learn something from these less rigid artistic approaches. Focuses on Louise Lawler's exhibition/installation, The Enlargement of Attention at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Nov 1990), noting that it was as much a treatise on the habits of museums as it was an exhibition of works of art.
