[inscriptions not by Turner] 

Editor: This is "[inscriptions not by Turner]" by Philip James De Loutherbourg. It's just writing on a small piece of paper. What’s interesting about a literal inscription being in the Tate? Curator: It's fascinating, isn't it? Consider the Tate's role, traditionally a space for finished artworks. This inscription highlights the art world's selective preservation, almost like a snapshot of the artist's thoughts or notes. What does it mean to display something so raw and functional? Editor: So, it's about how we value different parts of the artistic process? Curator: Precisely. It makes you question the nature of art itself and the institution that displays it. Editor: I never thought of it that way, seeing the institution itself as a frame for the art.
