13 and 14 week video review

The video Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach, talk about the intellectual and aesthetic issues associated with the display of art, using rooms in the Tate Modern as case studies. The exhibition style Alfred Barr established during his transformation of MOMA in the 1930s, the video shows how Tate curators developed a new method utilizing theme-based museum sections. I like when they mention Critics that Tate Modern's thematic presentation of art requires that viewers have no knowledge of art. They believe art should be more than entertainment. That give me confident to create my project. In the video An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan they talk about the  tenure of Mr. de Montebello guided the acquisition of more than 84,000 works of art, demanded innovation in conservation techniques, and oversaw the doubling of the physical size of this world-renowned cultural institution.  In the video The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art they explain what is lowbrow. Its influences include comic books, B-movies, rock ’n’ roll, surfing, hot rods, and Cold War imagery. Art historians call it Pop Surrealism; practitioners call it Lowbrow. With dozens of artist and gallery curator interviews, along with hundreds of examples, this program chronicles Lowbrow’s evolution, its iconoclasm and often antagonistic relation to Abstract Expressionism, as well as the rise of female artists to its forefront. This videos help me to create my plan for get start in my project. They guide me to understand the purpose of the project.
