Art Paradise

Contemporary Curation and Accessibility

Traditionally, galleries were organized on a historic and geographical basis: 18th century European Art in one room, 17th Century American art in another. In an effort to make fine art more accessible, Tate Modern and Tate Liverpool have used innovative curatorial models that are thematic in nature. At Tate Modern, paintings are displayed around themes such as still life and landscape. Each of the themed exhibits include works from a historic and geographically diverse area with the aim of thinking about how the theme has been explored across history. The current special exhibition at Tate Liverpool does the same thing while adopting a highly populist note, by choosing Alice in Wonderland as the subject.
