Many students interested in becoming a museum curator  work in a  museum  to gain experience to help them get a job as a  museum curator  after they receive their graduate degree.

Robert Gober’s //Untitled// and Cornelia Parker’s //Edge of England// will also be coming back on view. Gober’s piece, a seemingly prosaic suitcase on the floor, reveals a portal to a surreal, subterranean vista with the legs of a man and a child wading in the shallow water of a subconscious realm. The ethereal curtain wall of Parker’s //Edge of England//, comprised of chalk from the celebrated cliffs of Dover, is in essence an abstract symbol of England. The striking white cliffs of Dover form a natural barrier at the narrowest point of the English Channel that protected the country from foreign invasion for centuries. Yet in Parker’s installation, the light, otherworldly aspect of the chalk in suspension belies a darker reference: the Edge of England is also a location where many people have jumped to their demise.
