Blog Review

1.  George Eastman House: Picture Perfect:George Eastman created Kodak is a businessman and marketing genius and was the inventor of motion film. Photography is a vast technique.  Photography has captured many moments throughout history. Eastman made up Kodak there is “Mr. Kodak”.  The cinema is a gallery. 

Bones of Contention Native American Archaeology: There is a big battle between the use of native American burial grounds.  Some want them to be artifacts, some want them to stay and some want them put back.  Some bones can be found in museums around the world such as the Smithsonian.  These bones can be looked at to understand many things about the Native American history.  The Native Americans just want to bring home their ancestors. 

Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach:  The new museum of Modern art is so successful that curators had to move some of the art.  1900 to the present.  The MOMA was a powerful institution and dominated exhibition for half a century.  Curators are responsible for themes of exhibits.  Many people are attracted to modern art. 

The Lowdown on Lowbrow West Coast Pop Art: this can also be called POP Surrealism, but is also called lowbrow art or lowbrow surrealism, and does not mean what it did originally (pornography).  Rock and roll posters were shown around the world as art except in the U.S. Comics are a good example of this art.  Lowbrow is able to erase earlier definitions.  This art is almost up and coming because this art is getting more and more expensive.   

2. None of these videos related to my curation because my curation is based on Claude Monet, and he was not mentioned in any of the videos from what I could tell.

3. The films were quite interesting I actually really enjoyed watching the Lowdown one and  the Bones of contention one.  The only film that helped me would be the Tate Approach one because it told me about what a Curator does.
