Might be April Fools: Metropolitan Museum of Art Hires Marie Kondo




Hey everyone,
Today I saw that an article that states that the Metropolitan Museum of Art Hires Marie Kondo. I thought that this was an interesting idea as the article talks about they are thinking about selling so items in which they do not use anymore and does not spark joy. What this makes me think about is who gets to say what stays and what goes? Are they going to add new art into the inventory and are they going to look at different stats when getting rid of art other than if it brings joy? Art can be seen in so many different ways and is all up to interpretation so who is going to decide what sparks joy or not?

Heres the article I saw: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/art-industry-news-april-1-2019-1504465  It does not give that much information so it might be something you want to keep an eye out for in the future.
