«Museums are too concerned with being politically correct»
January 21st, 2010 Lucia Calvo Comments ClosedOrhan Pamuk opens the cycle of debates «Thinking the Future» with a talk on the pleasure of reading and looking at art
«Just as museums conserve objects, novels preserve the pleasures, smells and colours of language.» These words were spoken by Orhan Pamuk during the opening talk of the cycle “Thinking the Future”, held at the CCCB. The Nobel laureate spoke to a packed auditorium about the links between the art of telling stories and the art of collecting objects for exhibition in a museum. For Pamuk, novelistic and expository accounts go hand in hand, and share a single end: to stimulate the imagination and sentiments of receptors, be they readers of novels or visitors to a museum.
