Concepts: The definition of `lowbrow is "a person regarded as uncultivated and lacking in taste". Lowbrow has many different meanings depending on the individual. Robert Williams claims he invented the term. Pop culture, car culture, and folk art had influence in the style. The time after World War II or the "Atomic Age" is an important part of lowbrow. Art covers so many different things ranging from concept art to paintings. Psychedelic rock posters and underground comicsWhile conceptual ism brought thought to art it excluded audience members who were not trained in art history. Artist Anthony Ausgang says, "Lowbrow blitzkriegs the idea that high culture requires a certain level of intelligence." Robert Williams thinks the established art world is set up to promote only certain types of art like minimalism and abstract. Lowbrow artist created there own art scene. Punk rock propelled the lowbrow art culture. Twenty years ago Robert Williams couldn't get anyone to show his art work and now he is in demand all over the world. Over the last ten years Lowbrow has gained more recognition and acceptance. are a big part of the genre.
Concepts: Modern art in the MOMA from 1929 onwards was displayed primarily in chronological order, representing each art movement. Art is displayed on white walls with flexible lighting. A simple and clean set up. But by the 1970s, traditional ways of displaying modern art are questioned. Art was no longer just on walls but on the floor, moving, and making noise. The Tate Modern displays its modern art in four sections. In each section an overarching principle provides a theme for the selection and exhibition of the selections of modern art. The set up of the works make it so the viewer has to look for the parallels. Visitors to the Tate are provided with striking and often abrupt transitions between the individual display rooms. Art should be more than entertainment.
Concepts: Native Americans' bones were collected as a scientific curiosity during the U.S. genocide against Indians. Anthropologists differ on whether or not the remain should be returned to their ancestors.David Van Horn, a field archaeologist, is charged with criminal possession of Native human bone fragments. Buria Samuel Morton M.D. \concludes that the size of one's cranium is related to intelligence. Native American skulls are collected and stored in museums. l mounds are thought to be too civilized to have been built by Native American.There is a fight for Native people's objects of worship to be returned. Maria Pearson continues to represent the right to an undisturbed Indian burial ground. The holy areas are avoided by construction crews and archeologists do not excavate graves. Dennis Hastings, an Omaha, is satisfied with the reburial of his ancestors' remains. Moreover, both the tribe and scientists have gain new knowledge by having the bones analyzed prior to burial. Native Americans design the exhibits in New York's Native American Museum. Ancestors' bones continue to be brought home. Archaeology must share the responsibility for stewarding the past.
George Eastman House: Picture Perfect

The George Eastman House offers a variety of means to access collections, including 140,000 online images, that celebrate the art, technology, and impact of photography and motion pictures.
Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
All the videos had a great deal to do with exhibiting art. I felt a little off track with the video Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology. I do see now that is show a darker side to exhibiting and that things aren't always easy or right. It was a good contrast to the other videos that were more focused on exhibition. The video George Eastman House: Picture Perfect was a good example of how different exhibits can be compared to a museum like the Moma of Tate.
What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of the art concepts you practiced while creating your curation project?
I do feel a better understanding has been formed. They were all really did relate to curation in different ways. It was a good mix of information
