There are five main stages for an art consultant in charge of supplying artworks. The following stages are in the wrong order. Work in pairs and number the stages 1 to 5. Listen to the first part of an interview with an art consultant and check your answers.Draw up selection of possible art works._ Installation. _ Select or commission artworks. _Art consultant makes initial visit. _ Present possible choices to client. _ I=interviewer AC=Art consultantI: Id like to begin by asking you to imagine that Ive been asked to find some art for my companys office. Where would I start?AC: Well, the 1 first stage in selecting art is normally for one of our art consultants to visit you on site to assess the location, the size of the area and the style of the building and so on.I: How much difference does it make where I actually put the paintings?AC: A great deal. Art needs to be placed taking into account the function of a space. Different types of art are appropriate for different areas. Once we have an idea about what kind of work it is you do and how the space is used, then be begin to find 2 artworks and present a selection of art for your business and building. We can do this on-site or you can visit our galleries. The whole thing is a two-way collaborative process.I: So you already have the painting?AC: Yes, or we can ask an 3 artist to create works for your specific space. In this case, the client has some input but its important to remember when choosing workplace art that art is not your brand. If you ask the artist to emphasizes your company image in some way, youll just end up with bad art. Either way, you have an art consultant who oversees and project manages the production of any 4 commissioned artwork and makes sure its completed and 5 installed on time and within budget. And that also includes fitting appropriate lighting and any other maintenance and fitting.2. Listen to the second part of the interview. Does the consultant normally recommend traditional or modern artworks for companies? Why?I=Interviewer AC=Art consultantI: One thing I dont understand is how a company ever decides what to choose. I mean, art is such a personal thing. How does anyone ever agree?AC: Well, thats true. I think its important that you dont set up committees or anything. If you have a workforce of 300 and you ask everyone, youll get 300 different answers. No, you need to keep it small. Just one or two people. But choosing art for your offices isnt necessarily about choosing what the individual likes. The real benefits for a business are that the artwork gives a positive image to clients.I: So whats a typical type of art?AC: Its over varied but in general I suggest something strong and bold. If its just light colors that no one can really see, its pointless. You need art which shows your clients you have good taste and that you are successful.AC: There are a number of reasons, other than the fact that the managing director might like it. You dont want art that will offend anyone. So a painting of a man and woman with on clothes on is a bad idea. Similarly, a landscape or a painting of the countryside is the sort of thing you have in your living room at home and doesnt look very corporate. Also the art needs to say what kind of company you are. Most companies want to give clients the message that says were modern and were planning for the future. A classical painting says were old and traditional. A painting by a young modern painter gives a more positive image. And remember, it doesnt have to be a painting. A sculpture in the reception area can be very effective, for example.I: Finally, all this must be very expensive. How does a company justify thousands of pounds on this kind of thing?AC: It can be expensive but of course many people rent works from us - for as little as ten pounds a week. It also means that if you change your mind after a year or so, its easy to change the piece.KEYOverall, the speaker seems to be suggesting that modern artworks are a better choice to show you are a modern company and planning for the future.
