The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art
The key concepts I learned in the
video has specifics and general parameters in regards to the organizing and
displaying works of art. Specifically, I
learned that art galleries can take on particular themes and still appeal to
people in a general application. In the
Lowbrow gallery the display of various pop-arts has made the gallery unique in
the art profession as well as in allowing artists that may usually be deemed as
radical to exhibit their works of art in traditional and professional
structure. As aforementioned the
general parameters include the traditional approach to displaying art for
anyone who desires to view it. Even
though the works of art may be unique when compared to other subject matters
the appealing influence upon viewers is still present. Meaning that regardless of the type of art
that is being displayed there is still an inclination for art enthusiasts to go
and check out what works of art is being displayed. Moreover, I think that one major concept that
this gallery conveys is that art can be a residual effect of society, hence the
reason why a lot of the works of art seem to be inspired by the culture and
elements of society that were present during the creative process of making the
work of art.
Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach
I
enjoyed this film the most in comparison to the other films because it steps
away from the actual content or subject of works of art and discusses how
unique and innovative ways for displaying them is important. Additionally, I found that this approach separated
itself from traditional chronological displaying and other forms by using
various implementations for space, viewer interactions, and sound. Lastly, another great concept that was
attained from watching this film was how this approach incorporated the
importance of emotions, aesthetic effects, and social vision into the
displaying of works of art.
Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology
Upon
watching this film I was able to retain a new found intelligence in regards to
science, archeology, and the mitigating circumstances that are associated with
this occupation. Also, by watching the
film a comprehension about how archeology is considered a form of art became
noticed. Before watching this film I
always considered this occupation as an occupation that attempts to discover
and understand the past, whereas now I correlate this activity with the world
of art. In addition to all of these
educational acknowledgements I also have gained a more in depth understanding
about how this activity has negative occurrences that are similar to the
traditional dilemmas that involved with the world of art. Meaning that there are always discrepancies
about an artist’s motive and behavior when they become involved with specific
content (i.e. negative stereotypes, alleged misconduct, and ways of life), this
similarity brings attention to the unique perspectives and characteristics of
the people associated with the world of art.
An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan
This
film was great and gave me the knowledge about how important an art curator’s
occupation is as well as how it can also be considered a form of artwork
too. Furthermore, the understanding of
the detail that goes into displaying specific works of art and overall
exhibition was astonishing. Prior to
viewing this film I thought that this occupation was very simple and required
the hanging of paintings and finding an adequate amount of space for others,
however, this idea was easily eliminated.
Another key concept I learned from this film is how innovative
techniques must be applied to give the museum or gallery a unique aspect so
that it can ensure that an audience will come and continue to visit.
After
watching all four of these films I was able to find similarities to my art
exhibition project due the arraignment and flow of pieces to hopefully gain
specific emotions and thought processes by the viewer. Also, I have decided to incorporate various
works of art that stand out from the others so that a “wow” factor is attained,
which in turn should make the viewer to want to continue on with the tour as
well as come back to see the other projects I plan on doing as well. Moreover, I thought that these films were awesome;
they gave me new ideas and knowledge about how to make exhibitions stand out
and maintain an audience. Lastly, the
films also gave me insight about much detail and appreciation goes into making
art galleries and museums presentable.
Without this application many of these places would be mundane and have
difficulties attracting and sustaining an audience.
