Since the mid 1990s there has been an increasing
tendency for so-called
‘artist interventions’ in museums which involve a successful
dialogue between
artists and museum curators. Independent curator and writer James
Putnam
describes some of his projects working with artists and museum collections
and talks to artist Meekyoung Shin about her project ‘Translation’
for the
British Museum in 2004. James Putnam was founder and curator of
the
British Museum’s Contemporary Arts and Cultures Programme
(2000-2004)
and is a curator of an ongoing series of projects at the Freud Museum,
London. He also teaches curatorial studies at Central Saint Martins,
University of the Arts, London.
