Soft Eyes: An Exhibition for Curating Contemporary 

Assembled by Pete Schulte 

Detective Bunk: You know what you need at a crime scene? 

Detective Greggs: Rubber gloves? 

Bunk: Soft eyes…  

Greggs: Like I’m suppose-ta-cry-n-shit? 

Bunk: You got soft eyes you can see the whole thing...  

You got hard eyes you staring at the same tree, missing the forest… 

Greggs: …uh… zen-shit? 

Bunk: Soft eyes, grasshopper.  

I’m not sure why the above scene from The Wire was perpetually playing in my head throughout the process of assembling this exhibition for Curating Contemporary, but I think that it must have something to do with art.
