Groaners, All of Them
The art blogosphere is suffering from a lack of really lame jokes. Let me do my part to correct that problem.
How many curators does it take to change a light bulb?
That’s not a curatorial task. You’ll have to call maintenance.
How many educators does it take to change a light bulb?
That’s a very important question and many artists have addressed it, each in his or her own individual way, since the turn of the last century.
How many development staff does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one. But if we had the funding, we could put two or three people on it, ensuring a much higher quality outcome. Would you be interested in supporting that effort?
How many publications employees does it take to change a light bulb?
Wait a minute. Are you sure you have all the permissions nailed down to do that?
How many communications staff does it take to change a light bulb?
I’m not sure. Let me follow up on that. Can I give you a call back later today?
How many security officers does it take to change a light bulb?
Excuse me. Stand back from that bulb, please.
How many art handlers does it take to change a light bulb?
That’s not really in the job description, but what the hell. Where’s the fresh bulb?
