Module 13&14: Video Review

Video 1:  The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art

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

Low brow was a deviation from the “norm” when it came to the art world. All misfits were welcome into the community. In low brown art what you see is what you get, there were no hidden meanings like in the case of high brow art.

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

This video helped me very much in the creation of my exhibit. Most of the art pieces that that I chose wouldn’t be considered high brow or even your usual piece of art.

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?

It was really enlightening to see a different side of art. The side full of misfits and people that don’t really fit anywhere else, because who doesnt love to see the underdog succeed

Video 2: Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach

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

This video was very confusing when it came to relating to the project. It was a very informational and saddening but I still haven’t found the connection yet

Video 4: An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan

This video showed the inner workings of the Moma and what it takes to run a successful museum and all the people that it takes to make it work.

2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
Yes this video more so than any was really helpful so far with the project. It really showed me that while the pieces don’t need to be so alike but somehow they need to form a cohesive piece that meshes together.
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?

This video seemed to be the host helpful when it comes to the project because it actually showed the background of what it takes to run a successful museum and all the behind the scene workings.
