Art exhibit curation

This project was fun to do. I often really enjoy interpreting art work. Everyone sees different things and I've always been intrigued by art interpretation conversation. I found it easy to develop a theme. I stumbled upon my theme because I had found the images almost one after another on artstor. Once I had all my images, the other sub themes shined through themselves. I liked the food still lives because it they are so simple looking yet all of the artist's choices have a purpose for each piece. Playing with the different artistic styles was interesting. I liked being able to tell a story with them. I found an exhibit to focus, but was also able to tell a story like one of the videos discussed.

Curation videos

The first video I watched was on Lowbrow art. I was really interested in this video. The artwork was a lot of fun to see. Lowbrow was like an underground art for founded by the outcast of the fine arts. Women and naked figures may have been the subjects and that was frowned upon. Lowbrow was originally derogatory, but the lowbrow artists have come to own the term and have said that it is everything that encases the artwork it labels.

The culture show video helpful with the curation project. It brought up contrast of piece, a master piece or showcase art work, and it taught me to try to tell a story with the art works.

The Met video also helped with the curation project. It also emphasized some sort of focus within the exhibit. It discussed and intuitive flow as well. The curators made a leap and bought an art piece they knew nothing about but the exhibit was an amazing success and had supporting art works that told a store of the showcase piece.

The videos help me organize and construct my pieces. I had the pieces, but needed an arrangement to create a flow and the videos helped me find that.

I definitely feel the videos helped me in the curation project. I love learning about lowbrow art. I thought it was just pop art, learning about its history was fun and the art was enjoyable to look at.
