In the article Why Collaborate by Ellen Lupton she explains her views on the ups and downs of collaboration. The author loves to collaborate only under one circumstance, the other members need to have different skill sets and roles. Ellen states that ” A museum exhibition, like a Hollywood film, can’t be produced by one person; everyone involved must learn to get along (curators, educators, designers…” Basically everyone involved in the collaboration is like a piece to a puzzle. Also everyone needs to weigh in and do heavy lifting in the collaboration. Early in the article the author says ” I’d love to collaborate, as long as i can work alone. I often have felt that way about collaboration. Sure its a great idea as long as it doesn’t violate my personal work schedule or on my sense of control and authorship.” Basically she was a lone wolf and didn’t really like to work in groups. As the article goes on she tells us that collaboration is very important, for example Lorraine, Louise, and Rick are in a partnership and they work together to tackle big commissions that draw on all of their talents. Collaboration is important because you can come up with different ideas together with other group members.
