Would our responses be different if the artist was, I don¡¯t know, Ann Hamilton? Her live peacocks posed a challenge but one that was met.

Hi Listserve Friends!
?
Although we are not a student gallery, every year, the University Galleries host both MFA and BFA exhibitions. And every year we have students who
want to push boundaries. That¡¯s what artists do! I don¡¯t know if I am getting old and curmudgeons, ?or if I am brewing a cold¡ but I need your advice on this one. One grad student wants to bring in 50lbs of dry corn deer/turkey feed and 50lbs of rice, 50lbs¡
you get the gist of it. As a collections care person, in the state of Florida, all I can thing about is ¡°how long before the rats, mice and roaches find out I have food for them right here in the galleries, and how long will it take me to get rid of them once
they are in?¡± In the other hand I am thinking will a one month exhibition really give rats enough time to take hold (probably¡ it¡¯s Florida, there might even be a raccoon sleeping on top of the pile the same morning we put the corn out.) on the other hand:
artist integrity.
?
Help me calm down. Should I care? Should I shellac individual corn kernels? Will the rats care about shellac? As an artist myself, I remember rats
nibbling on paper shoes I exhibited in a NY gallery. Since it was a Cinderella piece, I thought it was hilarious¡ but also ewwww!!!!
?
As a collections manager, I am afraid of inviting pests in my space for the future. I seek your advice on whether my worry is justified or not.
?
Best,
?
