Ivory Black 

Editor: Here we have "Ivory Black," a pigment manufactured by F. Weber & Company. It's intriguing to see raw materials displayed like finished artworks. What can you tell me about its significance? Curator: Well, consider the museum's role in elevating everyday objects. How does showcasing a pigment transform its meaning and our perception of art production? Editor: So it's less about the pigment itself and more about its position in the art world? Curator: Exactly. It makes you question what deserves our attention and who decides that. Does it change how we value the final artwork? Editor: That's a really interesting question, thinking about the politics behind what we see and value. Curator: Indeed. Museums are not neutral spaces; they actively shape our understanding of art and its history.
