video review. Week 13 and 14

1.) The key concepts in the first video lowdown of lowbrow is mainly the idea of the word lowbrow. lowbrow was basically pop culture with people using nudity and provocative artwork. A lot of artists don't know if they are considered lowbrow or highbrow. A lot of the lowbrow artist had a different type of humor. Over the past years, artists who never got recognized are now famous around the world and more popular for their lowbrow work.
In the second video, BBC culture show, Tate Modern, is a modern look on everything. It was contemporary art that so many people went to visit on opening day, even the queen. It was a very successful exhibit. Even after 10 years the museum is still so incredibly crowded but a lot of the workers are concerned about the lack of seriousness with many people visiting. They don't look into the artwork as serious as they should, and it is more of a social gathering for most. Even thought they want people to take what the want and see from this museum.
In the last video the key concept is that a museum is never fully finished. There is constantly things being changed. The Metropolitan museum of art is considered to be the encyclopedia museum. Different Curators took the time to explain different artworks and pieces to people in different exhibits. They allowed people to ask them questions and explain the role of their jobs and being in the museum. They show the job of treating a lot of the artwork in the museum.
2.) I think the last video helped the most because it helped explain more of what a curator does and different exhibits they do, and themes, and how their role is important in the museum. The second video also help because seeing the process of the exhibits and the museum opening up gave me an idea of how to process my own exhibit for my project. The first video did not seem to help too much just because it seemed to be a little too much off topic.
3.) I think when I first read about what our project was going to be on I was a little confused on what to expect. After watching these videos it gave me a better idea of what it mean to be a curator and the different exhibits in museums and how they are created and how the curator is so important to have.
