“Re-presenting the permanent collection in this way is far easier, more flexible and cost-effective than temporary exhibitions.”
Tanner Christensen argues that being creative is like riding a bike
“Whether you’re hoping to be a prolific writer, turn yourself into a part-time designer, become a professional musician, or just have worthwhile creative ideas every day, give your brain the subtle hints it needs to know what the end-goal is. Even the simplest of things can influence your outcome, from the ritual you use to “prep” yourself to the environment you work in. Any impact you can have will go a long way on your subconscious. Ultimately: think of being creative like riding a bike. At first you might struggle, but after a while it will come naturally, just like that.”
