Editor: Here we have an untitled photograph by Jack Gould showing what appears to be a fraternity and sorority party scorecard. It looks like an intriguing snapshot into collegiate social life, but what's your take on it? Curator: Well, it makes me think about the nature of games and competition. The scorecard itself becomes a kind of performance art, doesn't it? It's this strange intersection of tradition, aspiration, and, dare I say, a bit of playful absurdity. What do you think the games were like? Editor: Probably pretty silly! I’m curious about the context of this specific event. Curator: Exactly! It's a moment frozen in time, inviting us to reflect on the rituals we create. Perhaps it reveals more about us than them? Editor: That's a great point; it's like a funhouse mirror reflecting our own values back at us. Thanks!
