Notes: "An arresting and fascinating essay. [...][I]t is up to the job of conducting a highly intelligent discourse in a way that carries the reader irresistibly along. The subject matter [...] is bang-up-to-the-minute, supported by recent literature.[...] And since Margaret is analysing new ways of doing exhibitions, one feels that she is entitled to devise an appropriately new way of articulating her essay.[...] As “research” the essay shows that Margaret is aware of and perceptive about the contemporary, and as criticism it shows that she has sharp ideas and can express them cogently." -Anthony B.
