Jane Burton, Experience and Interpretation Speaker: Jane Burton, Curator of Interpretation, Tate Modern.Taking the Barnett Newman exhibition as its focus, Jane Burton seeks to unravel some of the possible interpretative approaches to Newman's art adopted by museums, both in his lifetime and today. She considers the debates in the press about interpretation surrounding the opening of Tate Modern, and outlines some of the ways in which abstract art has complicated the interpretative process, by incorporating both the viewer's physical and psychological responses and the architectural space of the gallery in its scope.Further ReadingBarnett Newman, exhibition catalogue, Philadelphia Museum of Art/ Tate, 2002Nicholas Serota, Experience and Interpretation: The Dilemma of Museums of Modern Art, Thames and Hudson, 1996.
