3. THE ALCHEMY OF CURATING “…sometimes placing one work of art near another makes one and one equal three. Two artworks arranged alchemically leave each intact, transform both and creates a third thing. This third thing and the two original things then trigger cascades of thought and reaction…This chain-reaction is thrilling and uncanny.” Salz (2007)
