For its 2022 exhibition Guarding the Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art cast the security personnel typically responsible for safeguarding the institution's collections as the curators, whose individual selections from the museum's holdings culminated in a show amplifying a distinct perspective not typically given a formal platform. (2025.03)

Which quote from one of the personnel who curated the exhibition would best support the underlined claim?
A. "The most enjoyable part of curating this show has been seeing the outcome of our efforts: a unique show that spans genres, mediums, cultures, and eras. We hope visitors will sense our genuine affinity for the pieces we are charged with protecting"
B. "My selections for the show were motivated by an interest in bringing publicity to lesser-known artifacts in the museum's collection, many of which tend to be overlooked or even dismissed as uninteresting by most visitors to the museum."
C. "The piece I chose is accompanied by a statement of the personal interpretation I've developed over countless hours overseeing the work and interacting with its visitors—an interpretation that I've previously shared only in small impromptu conversations with those visitors who are interested in discussing their reflections on the piece with me."
D. "Throughout the exhibition's development, my colleagues and I partnered closely with other museum staff whose areas of expertise lie in curation and conservation, and whose insights enriched our understandings of the pieces we selected for the exhibition."
文本翻译
在2022年的展览《Guarding the Art》中,巴尔的摩艺术博物馆让通常负责保护馆藏的安保人员担任策展人。这些人员从博物馆藏品中各自进行选择,最终形成了一场展览,呈现出一种通常不会被正式展示的平台所赋予的独特视角。
文本分析
传统博物馆策展通常由专业策展人完成,而安保人员平时并不参与正式策展。这次展览让安保人员来选择作品,本质是在引入一种来自非专业、日常接触艺术的一线视角。划线句强调的是:这场展览放大了一种通常不会进入正式展览体系的视角,也就是“非正式 → 正式化”。因此,最有力的支持必须体现:这种视角来源于个人经验,并且此前没有正式表达渠道。
选项分析
A. "The most enjoyable part of curating this show has been seeing the outcome of our efforts: a unique show that spans genres, mediums, cultures, and eras. We hope visitors will sense our genuine affinity for the pieces we are charged with protecting"
错误,只强调展览多样性和情感投入,没有体现“非传统视角”或“未被正式表达”的特点。
B. "My selections for the show were motivated by an interest in bringing publicity to lesser-known artifacts in the museum's collection, many of which tend to be overlooked or even dismissed as uninteresting by most visitors to the museum."
强干扰项,虽然体现“与大众不同的选择”,但这种“发掘冷门作品”本身仍属于常规策展思路,并非“未被正式平台呈现的视角”。
C. "The piece I chose is accompanied by a statement of the personal interpretation I've developed over countless hours overseeing the work and interacting with its visitors—an interpretation that I've previously shared only in small impromptu conversations with those visitors who are interested in discussing their reflections on the piece with me."
正确,强调该解读来自长期个人经验,并且此前只在非正式场合表达过,现在被带入展览,完全对应“not typically given a formal platform”。
D. "Throughout the exhibition's development, my colleagues and I partnered closely with other museum staff whose areas of expertise lie in curation and conservation, and whose insights enriched our understandings of the pieces we selected for the exhibition."
错误,强调与专业策展人员合作,反而削弱了“非传统视角”的特点。
