Charlotte Middleton from Art Edit writes about Megan Dicks and Hannah Abbott's process of curation of the Curatorial House – in Toorak, Victoria.
" 'We did know that we wanted to bring an air of femininity, for balance, and we wanted to bring in some movement,' says Dicks. 'We were always very conscious of the emotional journey, and we really wanted it to be varied.' Originally provided with a budget to acquire 20 works for the main areas, the pair pulled from their extensive network of connections through OTOMYS Gallery to assemble a world-class array of artwork, starting with the lobby".
Middleton delves into the relationship between Dicks, Abbott and the client. "For someone who professed to know very little about art, Dicks and Abbott soon found that the principal client’s 'unbelievable sense of fashion' translated into an understanding of colour, line, form, texture, and balance. 'There is not a lot to know, apart from what exists between you and the art when you’re looking at it,' is a key tenet of the philosophy at OTOMYS, seeking to break down the perception of art’s inaccessibility."
