So I dropped a quarter in the RantOmatic and this is what came out.
If I see the word Curated used for anything other than an exhibit of artwork I may loose it.
This morning in the Washington Post real estate section there was an article about an interior designer who when decorating her own home “threw in traditional touches to create a ‘curated’ look”.
Give me a break. How about a home that looks like a person lives there.
Just below this article is a picture of a house that was designed out of a Design within Reach catalog, specifically the Herman Miller section.
It looks curated because it is a sterile room with a theme presentation.
A 50’s ‘Mad Men’ theme park.
I have to admit that I would love an Eames Chair, but that doesn’t mean the whole place gets thrown in the 50’s way back machine.
Getting back to Curated.
Enough.
If you picked out some favorite things for other people to eat, listen to, watch, touch, whatever…
Just say that.
Now if you are a MFA and you curate your spice drawer…well..I understand there are meds for that sort of thing.
