Video Blog 13/14

1.     For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

The lowdown on lowbrow – this shows the underground movement in art in the 1970s. This video shows that art does not need to follow the “norms” that society sets, in fact it shows that many things can thrive when norms are not followed.

Displaying modern art – shows a similar thread that the first video shows which is that nontraditional things can thrive just as well, and things do not have to conform to the social norms.

Bones of Contention – this video was a polarizing topic that relates to things that we read about earlier in the book. This is another controversial thing about ownership of property similar to the British museum and the Greek artifacts.

An acquiring mind - this video shows the behind the scenes of someone who accepts art into a museum, it is not as easy as it would seem

2.     Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.

I think they do, it shows different ways to group things together, it shows not have to have all of the same technique, but can be born from the same movement happening across the art world.

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?

I found the videos comforting, it opened my mind to different ways to create my project, not so much in techniques but more ideas and threads that run through different art works that can tie them together.
