Being curator

                                                

Curator is the specialist who organizes the collections in the museum. They are responsible for presenting the art in front of the people by the proper placement of the art and give the meaning of the art by its right position. However there are certain ways and categories that a curator organizes the arts. Me, as a curator would organize the arts in such a way that the whole arts would looking interesting and people would have fun. I am not a museum person but if I was given a chance to work as a curator, then my placement of the art would somewhat defines me, the way I am.

                                                            Lets explore it and feel it

The theme of arranging this picture is to explore the world from where you are. The first picture is by Gregory Gentert. Its 20 X24 inch pigment print. Second picture is the gate with the indoor tress by Katie Kline. It is 20 x 25 inches. Third picture is by Gregory gentrent too. It is 20 x 24 inches. Fourth is by Esteban cabeza de Baca. It’s a greenery picture of 6 x 6ft.

The first picture is the world. The picture is of dark colors: navy, grey and off-white. When one sees the world, it looks like a mystery. It’s a sphere with the some parts with the off-white colors (land) and the blank part (water). This picture I kept at front so as to begin the picture viewing with something that hold things more than we expected; the black and white earth picture which holds something interesting yet to explore.

The second picture is the windows meaning a medium to look at something. Window here is like an outlet to explore something. It is the beginning of some journey.

The third one is the beautiful opened way for the viewers to go inside and view the real world. The sunrise view and the dust seen during the sun start the journey yet to be continuing. blue sky ,rising sun and the outlet to these scenes.

The last one shows the greenery, the nature and trees. This picture provides a soothing to the eyes after going through all the dark dim colors. As this picture comes out to be unexpected bright green. There are trees with its branches painted brown. There is water on the ground which reflects those trees and also water plants are on the water.

As far as dimension of these pictures are concerned first three pictures are almost the same size and the last one is the bigger one. When these pictures are kept together, it kind of forms likes a T-shaped just to give these pictures looks interesting not dull. First three pictures will be in the middle and then stands the bigger fourth picture.

Well I have linked this picture to simply get oneself out from their busy schedule and see the world. There is earth ;looks kind of dull , as we see it through closed gates, it doesn’t look that fascinating but once the door is open and we step to explore we see something different and interesting . The dust, sun and the greenery that gives a hope to live life as it seems fresh and beautiful.  I hope these arrangements bring the positive vibes in people and to live life hoping for the best.

This art show welcomes everyone who wants to explore new things and and wants a lot of positivity in everything that they come across.

  1. I really like this curatorial project. You, as curator, are leading the viewer on an imagined journey, almost holding the viewer by the hand as they approach artworks that act as windows into the world.
    I think this exhibition works on a number of levels. I like the careful description of colors and formal elements for each image. I like the choice of the middle two images that are both actual windows into a mysterious world.
    I love how your narrative unfolds through the images, and that you are focusing on the experience of the viewer.

    Extremely insightful exhibition, Ms. Curator!
