Art Exhibit Essay

Antonio Art Museum was called “28 Chinese”. This exhibit was based on the artwork of 28 contemporary Chinese artists. Throughout the exhibit, it was discussing the fall of communism, poverty, the essence of time, resistance, rebellion and the conservation of history. Some of the artwork I saw were created by Zhu Jinshi, Qiu Zhijie, Zhang Huan, and Shang Yixin, just to name a few. The exhibit was on two floors of the museum. When I first entered the exhibit, it led me to a big white room with art being

Bakersfield Museum of Art I visited the Bakersfield Museum of Art this weekend and it was a great experience. The museum had different exhibits. Each exhibit had its own significance and had beautiful artwork. The first exhibit I visited was in the Chevron Gallery. This gallery was filled with oil paintings of landscapes, still life, and abstract paintings. The best thing about this exhibit was how it was prepared by the summer art camp program called “A Fresh Look”. The summer art program is where a

Davis, E Bowers Museum Review Located in Santa Ana, CA the Bowers Museum can be seen in a similar light as the art work “Levitated Mass” by Michael Heizer. I say this because the Bowers is located in a not so nice part of Santa Ana and can be looked at as a beacon. The Architecture is set in the style of a mission with Stuccoed Walls, Terra Cotta Roof Tiles, Cement Copying and Curvilinear Gables. As you enter the bowers Museum you walk up on a long dramatic brick walkway that takes you

As of recently, I had visited the UNM Art Museum to explore their various exhibits. There were four art exhibits at this art museum; Mata Ortiz, The 22nd Annual Juried Graduate Exhibition, Remnants: Photographs From the Disfarmer Studio, and Lightning Speak. Each exhibit portrayed similar characteristics, such as color, seating, and physical space. As with each art gallery, white is the primary neutral color used to display each piece. The white posts used to display certain pieces and walls gave

Introduction How art is presented in a museum is based off guidelines. The shows cannot be too crowded, there has to be a flow to the pieces, and there has to be a concept behind the curation of the art. This process can take years depending on the size of the show; both floor plans and 3D models are created to curate shows. Shows in other countries and cities will follow similar guidelines. Some exhibits may have more money put into them and more thought about the curation, but generally there will

Contemporary Art, I toured the exhibit, American Montage. American Montage made its big appearance of the work of Brooklyn based artist, Adam Cvijanovic. From the previous fifteen years, this exhibition highlights establishment and extensive scale canvases on Tyvek’s shoal. Cvijanovic’s enthusiasm for nineteenth-century landscape art is represented in the American Montage. Walking into Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, I was immediately drawn towards Adam Cvijanovic’s exhibit. Cvijanovic’s exhibit included

It is not surprisingly that some art is controversial due to the fact that everyone reacts to art differently. People can feel a wide variety of emotions when looking at art. In some situations, the viewer does not always like the piece of art or agree with the message that the artist is portraying. An artist that is known for an extremely controversial piece of art is Guillermo Vargas. Vargas’s piece entitled “Eres Lo Que Vees,” which translated to “You Are What You Read” in English, is controversial

The Denver Art Museum (DAM) has just revealed it's newest exhibit, The Mi Tierra. Dubbed one of the most important contemporary art exhibits produced at DAM in years, Mi Tierra features pieces by emerging and mid-career Latino artists such as, Carmen Argote, Jaime Carrejo, Ana Teresa Fernandez, Ramiro Gomez and Ruben Ochoa. These artists present diverse pieces representing the many cultures in the Western United States through the ideas of labor, nostalgia, memory, visibility, and displacement

Juried Exhibitions My first exhibits were juried exhibitions, where I responded to a call for entry and had work accepted into a group or solo exhibit. Typically, you submit a few images of works (3 is a pretty common) along with supporting material (artist statement, bio, resume, etc). There is usually a small fee to enter, around $30.00 or $40.00, which is the “jurors fee.” Juried exhibits are usually adjudicated by an art professional or team of art pros (artists, curators, dealers, and the like)

The subject of an art work along with the technique are the first things that draw attention to it, but how the work is curated by the museum is a hidden factor with significant impact to how the piece is viewed by the audience. It would be very distracting to have a dark medieval work placed on a bright pink wall because of the color contrast. This could take away greatly from a majestic piece. On the other hand, a museum can also arrange works in a specific order and compliment works extremely
