Week 13 and 14: Blog Video Review

In The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art, many points are discussed about lowbrow art. Several artists are interviewed about the term lowbrow and what it means to them and what they would consider to be lowbrow art. Lowbrow art seemed to be something completely different than any other form of art. It was very wild and unusual but portrayed issues and pop culture of the time. In Tate Modern, the narrator discusses how Tate has become such a revolutionary museum. The way in which art is displayed changes the way an audience perceives it. In An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the process of developing the Moma by Philippe is the main topic. He was incredibly articulate and innovative in the ways in which he went about creating exhibits in the museum. The videos relate to the art exhibition project because they all provide different points of views on the topic of art exhibitions. Art exhibitions can be completely out of the ordinary and take a lot of thought and attention to detail to be successful and perceived well by the art world. The helps bring a lot of ideas to mind for the curation project. I think most people don't realize how much goes into creating an exhibit in an art gallery and the videos opened my eyes to how many different aspects are involved in the process.
