Vide Review Curation

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of the art concepts you practiced while creating your curation project?

 The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art- Lowbrow dictionary definition: a person regarded as uncultivated and lacking in taste. Pop culture, car culture, and folk art have both had major influences in the genre. While conceptual ism brought thought to art it excluded audience members who were not trained in art history. High culture requires a certain level of intelligence. Music artists were able to get their work to the masses in the form of album covers and fliers.
Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach- Art is displayed on white walls with flexible lighting. The Tate Modern displays its modern art if four sections. In each section an overarching principle provides a theme for the selection and exhibition of the selections of modern art.
Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology-  Native Americans' bones were collected as a scientific curiosity during the U.S. genocide against Indians. In the 19th Century Samuel Morton M.D. studies brain size and conclude that the size of one's cranium is related to intelligence. Bones with similar defects suggests shared genes and origins.
They place the art in a context of time and place. Art is never finished. You sense creation and not repetition.

This videos do relate to the creation of the exhibition project. I didn't realize so much thought and work was put in to an exhibition. This makes me understand I have to sit down and really think about the exhibition and in vision what I really want to put together so it all goes with each other. I don't want too similar of pieces though. 

The videos did add depth. Without them I really wouldn't know much about art curation. I now learned some easy tips to put together and exhibition.
