Redefining Contemporary Art
Although Helen Molesworth holds the position of the chief curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the information present on her Wikipedia page does not describe her philosophy as the curator. One of the assigned readings was written by Molesworth. In her article, “How to Install Art as a Feminist,” Molesworth shows her stance on the importance of history behind an art piece. The lack of explanation for what is significant to her choosing the artwork diminishes the works present in the MOCA. Until the 1970s, only a small population has consciousness of how slowly museums that curate modern and contemporary art get ahold of feminist art, and these pieces don’t spend much time on display. If a contemporary museum unevenly circulates art by male and female artists, it’s fair to say that it holds on the the traditional notion that works by male artists hold higher importance compared to art by female artists. One naive intention to resolve this gender inequality might lead to the belief that curators should view art in the absence of the artists’ backgrounds. Because the meaning behind each piece of art possess the fluidity to change due to different perceptions, to view it separately from the artist would strip the art of its significance, its story, and ultimately its history. Molesworth’s work at the Museum of Contemporary Art is redefining the roles of contemporary art museums. Her values in history lead her in a new direction compared to other contemporary art museums because she embraces innovations in art that is has not been considered contemporary art yet. In her interview, Molesworth explains why Robert Rauschenberg’s piece stands out to her. She described it as, “[he] takes painting and sculpture, marries them, and creates a new type of ‘combine.’”
