00:00:05 My name is Sue Ellen Paxson. I am Director of Exhibitions and Special Projects. Just about everything, at one time or another, can go into one of those categories.

00:00:14 This is the exhibition calendar. It's not that we don't have this online, it's just that when we play with moving things around, it's great to have this kind of a board.

00:00:23 I facilitate the movement of a project or an exhibition through different divisions and departments and, luckily, I work with lots and lots of really confident people

00:00:34 who carry out these projects.

00:00:36 [...like Rob's collaboration with the Ghetty...]

00:00:38 [Yes, yes. I thought so...]

00:00:40 The best part of my job without doubt is working with artistic people and the art, and I can say that that has remained the same, from the day I started, until today.

00:00:50 I just really, really love the people, even though they are not the same, but they've all been great and all weird and enjoyable.

00:00:59 I was in California, gosh...I guess it was back in 1994, or so, when I stopped dead in my tracks because I saw this car, bright yellow and I thought, "What is this? I need to have this car."

00:01:12 See the deal with the car is, it's huge and it gives me a chance to be tall and I admit I sit on two pillows,

00:01:22 ...I sit on two pillows when I drive. You can offer up the world to people for free.

00:01:30 I mean, come on in, here is the world upstairs in Gallery 1, 2, and 3, all different ages, all different cultures,

00:01:41 all different materials represented and it's life changing.

00:01:47 "It's My Art" is it's my life. I mean, I love art, it changes everything, it opens up horizons and it's my art, it's my life.
