Contemporary Curation and Accessibility

Traditionally, galleries were organized on a historic and geographical basis: 18th century European Art in one room, 17th Century American art in another. In an effort to make fine art more accessible, Tate Modern and Tate Liverpool have used innovative curatorial models that are thematic in nature. At Tate Modern, paintings are displayed around themes such as still life and landscape. Each of the themed exhibits include works from a historic and geographically diverse area with the aim of thinking about how the theme has been explored across history. The current special exhibition at Tate Liverpool does the same thing while adopting a highly populist note, by choosing Alice in Wonderland as the subject.

Presentation and Art

No matter how great or superior a piece of art is, the way it’s presented to the common eye makes a big difference. Even the greatest art can look regular, if it’s presented in a very unappealing way. Why is presentation so important? I sometimes feel that if presentation is so important to make an art look good, then should we not rather appreciate the presentation skills than the skill of the artist.

The fact is that all of us are preoccupied with one thing or the other all the time. Due to this state of pre-occupation in our minds we tend to miss out on several details, which otherwise could be highly appreciated. This is where presentation skills come in. One of the main objectives of presentation is to grab your 100% attention towards the presented object. Once your complete attention is obtained, then it would be easier for you to appreciate even the minutest of detail.

Many times when looking at a piece of art we are not able to enjoy the beauty of it, since we are looking at it partially. We do not focus on it completely. Every successful art exhibition has worked hard on its presentation, no matter how good the piece of art is presented. Even Mona Lisa, if not presented aptly would look ordinary.

I recently read in the news that Dianne Sullivan was going to conduct an art gallery outdoor, in a Park. The moment I read about it, I thought to myself what a beautiful idea. What could be better than enjoying the human artistic mind in the surroundings of God’s natural canvas? It was also mentioned that the art gallery would continue form 10 am to 4 pm regardless of sun or rain. I am sure they will need quite a bit of furniture to get the presentation right. May be they can get some help from office furniture London ; these furniture are not only needed because it is an open-air presentation, but also can be used to draw attention to some details. I just hope that the weather remains good so that the great experience is not spoiled for anyone. With the right presentation equipment and in this case the right weather, I am sure this art gallery is going to be one of its kind.

Artist Ryan Mosley

Artists are more creative and possess more insight than simple designing Built up letters and Ryan Mosley is one of those truly creative artists. Mosley incorporates ideas reminiscent of Manet and Titian to bring to life his ideas of riotous hedonism and to do so with an erotic flair.

Moseley was a student of art and paid his dues working at the National Gallery as More

Weaving the world over

When you are sat in the office all day trying to learn how to use human resource software, you can’t be blamed for taking a sneaky peek at some interesting things on the web. A woman I met the other day at a local market told me about her art and craft weaving. Her name was Harriet Stenner, she was a young woman that had recently moved from the United Kingdom to Sp More

Buying gifts for an artist

Everyone likes to receive gifts and I am not an exception to it. But the joy of receiving a gift can become tenfold if one receives a perfect gift. Many people buy their friends or colleagues gifts that they probably wanted for themselves. This might be the perfect gift for the person who is buying the gift, not necessarily for the one who is on the receiving end.

Buying gifts for a person with an artistic side can be as More

The Glasshouse Mill Series by Hugh Miller

These paintings, called the Glasshouse Mills Series, will be in the British capital as part of a sponsored exhibition that takes place from May 17-23, 2011 at the Truman Brewery. Art viewers will experience a novel perception of landscape painting, creating a unique environment in which people will admire a new sense of enthusiasm of experimental modern painting. The exhibition aims to address the ideas of ‘illusional'environments (like a DNA testing office in central London), manipulating the beauty of locations More

Self promotion counts

Wannabe artists need a lot more than talent these days. Think about the best known modern British artists and what they all have in common; figured it out yet? Well, David Hirst, Tracey Emin, Grayson Perry, even Banksy for all his secrecy, are fantastic self promoters.
You’ve got to have a bit of attitude about you if you want to be the next enfant terrible of the art world. Being a great painter, photographer or sculptor will probably allow you More

My Painting Class

My paiting class - or learning to pain like Paul Horton - something like that. My mum enrolled me in the summer program at our local art museum and what I remember most about this was drawing the cactus that my mum had. It was a bromeliade, I think that’s what they are called, it has a huge pink prickly flower in the middle. It was very nouveau at the time and me mum thought she was chic.

I had More

The Tate Modern is a Great Example of How to Run a Museum

There are dozens of world class museums in the world. But so many of them are over designed. As places that contain art, each of them want to be a piece of art themselves. Many get famous architects to design striking and modern buildings in which to situate the striking and modern art. This causes a number of problems. First, it sends the message that it’s the building that you should be interested in rather than the content. The content More
