1. In Video about Lowbrow, I learned that Lowbrow represents art that nobody knows how to categorize or label. It's reactionary and anybody can play, sort of speak. It's a very inclusive style of art. In the Tate Approach video, I learned about the different things art curators have to consider in putting together an exhibition. They map out everything. They consider how many floors they want the exhibit to be, what years to string together and then how to separate them thematically. It can go from impression to surrealism to pop art. It can be from the 1900s to present day. They focus on the progression of artistic movements. In the last video on the former director of the MET, Phillipe de Montebello, I learned so much. I learned how much hard work goes into making an art exhibit. Art curators sure have a huge job. There is measuring, moving, lots of hands, building, buying materials, and etc, involved in making an exhibit. Phillipe said that in creating an exhibit, you don't want to just fill gaps, he would rather have empty space than a invalid representation of something. Every piece should be outstanding.
2. I didn't really see a clear connection between the first video on Lowbrow with our art project. It talked a little about art curators and the process in creating collections, but this style of art was way different then my focus and theme for the project. The last two videos definitely related to our project because they discussed what actually goes on in making an exhibition. They talked about how exhibits can be small, large, broad, focused, about an artist, culture, millennium, or moment in time.
3. I didn't like the first video because of all the nude displays. I mean I understand Lowbrow art isn't really defined, but as previously known, they should call it nudebrow. The last two videos really helped me to see what an art curators job entails.
