DESCRIPTION:Last summer\, the public was invited to view 183 images of art
  from the Walker’s renowned collection of works on paper. Using a digita
 l kiosk in a Walker gallery and an online survey at walkerart.org\, indivi
 duals cast nearly a quarter-million votes on whether particular artworks s
 hould “definitely” or “maybe not” be included in the exhibition 50
 /50: Audience and Experts Curate the Paper Collection. Meanwhile\, chief c
 urator Darsie Alexander was considering artists who have been collected in
  depth and\, inevitably\, bringing an element of personal preference to th
 e process of organizing the “expert” half of the exhibition.\n\nFeatur
 ing some 200 works hung salon-style\, 50/50 is at once an experiment in cr
 owd curation and an exploration of the Walker’s collection\, with each o
 f the two sections filling half the gallery space. This shared exchange sp
 arks a range of questions about the dynamics between “audience” and 
 “expert\,” or between curatorial practice and so-called “mass taste.
 ” It also touches on a broader contrast between the act of making aesthe
 tic judgments in an online context and the experience of looking at and th
 inking about art up close\, without time constraints.
