Module 13 Videos Reviews

Hello everyone

This week, we watched three videos. 

The key concepts that I learned from watching “The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art” are that art historians refer to it as pop surrealism and practitioners call it Lowbrow. I also learnt that no one else knows how to categorize art.

The key concepts I learned from watching “Tate Modern” Is that Tate curators developed a new method utilizing theme-based museums. I also learnt that work of art was categorized and displayed white walls.

The key concept I learned from watching “An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and the Metropolitan” is that Phillipe de Montebello served for 31 years as director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Lowbrow video doesn’t relate to my exhibition because all of my works of art chosen for the theme have a well-defined category. The Tate approach did relate to my exhibition because it the method and the idea of curator both utilize a theme-based approach. Phillip de Montebello and the Metropolitan related to my art project because de Montebello carefully chooses works of art like I did for my exhibit.

The films were very interesting and added much depth to my understanding of the museums. I have a better understanding of process placing artifacts in a museum.
