Really liked the Scorsese quote.

There is an interesting quote that I unfortunately couldnt find that says something like " The diference between a museum and a storge wharehouse is what you don't select"

Ooh, I love that quote - 'what you don't select'. Nice!

with musings (and loads of actual effort) around 'social architecture' as a thread that holds our studio community together, curating is an integral part. we often find that (in the wise words of kevin costner in the 1989 film field of dreams) "if you build it, (they) will come" is true, as often as the opposite is also true... our studio doesn't suit a certain type of personality that doesn't like transparency, honesty, sharing and helping each other.. I read a book about these narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths called 'taming toxic people' and community building with these central values is the antidote!

I absolutely see myself as a curator … Field Notes for Curious Minds is the place I articulate the compulsion to share the things that have inspired me. Celebrating Others lifts me up too. Nice post. Good question.

I really think a lot of people overlook the fact that they have and regularly use this creative skill. I think a large part of what I do is curation. I love it.
