Art museums are mystical if they're any good, and not every curator has something to say.
Nevertheless, if you hang a banana in a collection of fruit it has a context-engineered interpretation. If you hang it amongst photographs of fields littered with starved corpses next to the portrait of a fat general it will have another.
