Meghann's Littoral Drift
On Friday March the 18th, I attended an art exhibition at the Memphis College of Art. The exhibit consisted of two main artists. The two artists were Meghann Riepenhoff and Tim Andrews. Each artist display was completely different from each other. Even though the two displays were obviously different, the exhibit itself of each artist had the same theme. In Meghann’s exhibit, “Littoral Drift,” all of her images had to do with the same thing, waves and water at the beach. In her exhibition she had about twelve paintings. All of her paintings I noticed had the color blue and represented the ocean. They were all placed separately, given a chunk of space between each picture. I thought that was smart because none of the paintings would be able

    Art allow people to send awareness of problems that have been easily rejected by justice. The second art Museum that I attended this semester was the National Museum of Mexican art. I was very excited to attend this museum because after seeing the Art Institute for the first time I felt in love with art. When I arrive at the museum I enter the first exhibit as my friend and I were talking around the corner one beautiful painting caught my attention. The name of the art piece was Los Sueños Rotos (Broken Dreams) by Rocio Caballero. This painting stood out to because of how realistic this painting looked. I told my friend that this painting was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, my friend also liked it.…

    Bagley Summary

    In the article First Paper Assignment, Robert Bagley questions the rationality of Professor X’s assignment “just look carefully and describe what you see” (Bagley, 49) for college freshmen. He believes that an artwork is unable to generate meanings by itself, and therefore, the description of an artwork could only be supported by putting it in some sort of context. Such context can be gained by multiple ways, including but not limited to, comparing with similar artworks, analyzing the effect played by different features consciously, thinking of its cultural and historical context, and comparing across culture.…

    They are a few artists that display arts that make people uncomfortable or questioned themselves as to why they wanted to see their display. Some of the arts bring out our emotion. For example, Chris Ofili painted an art piece called The Holy Virgin Mary, and it caused a lot of controversies in the Brooklyn Museum of Arts. He got positive review from other countries, but when he displayed in the Brooklyn Museum he got a lot of people angry especially the mayor.…

    Over the years art work has changed and artists have their own way of interrupting what art is and how it should be viewed. Between the years of 1506 to 2012 each artist I’ve chosen has their own way of depicting beauty. Art is in the eye of the beholder. One person may like something while someone else may see it in a different way. While visiting the Appleton Museum, I got in touch with my artist side.…

    Christopher Russel exhibition was very three dimensional. It made you want to touch and feel the different textures. From the snakes in the flowers to the eagle with its wing spread wide.

    By taking a virtual tour through the Cosmic Buddha exhibit, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was able to observe and analyze the different pieces of artwork and sculptures. Through observing the similarities in the mediums and tones of the painting or sculpture, I was able to identify the various differences between certain pieces of artwork. All things considered, I found a new fondness for the elements involved to construct such astounding pieces of artwork.…

    I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th, a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum. Since that last visit I have gained a better understanding about art and what goes into every piece of work. I have also gained more experience, back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now, I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush and color applied. The reason I chose the North Carolina Museum of Art was solely to re-experience the art with my new artistic eye. While walking through the museum, I searched for that one piece of art that would catch my eye and inspire me to talk…

    Curatorial Assignment

    The theme for my gallery exhibition will be fluxus. The art movement/ theme "fluxus" originated in the 1960's. Similar to the theme "art and the quotidian object", which means art of the everyday (found) object(s). Fluxus loosely translates to flow or change in many different languages. In comparison, Fluxus has many similarities with Marcel Duchamp's "dada" art movement from the 1920's. While dada is more of a world view, fluxus, on the other hand, is more of a state of mind/ attitude that represents anti-art (anti commercialism) and follows in dada's footsteps. Fluxus also meshed well with the ongoing and/or perpetuating rebellious attitudes of the sixties and seventies. Fluxus went against everything that modernism stood for at the time, but mainly against the overall seriousness of modern art. Fluxus art usually always consists of different media types, including performances, videos, recordings, texts, everyday (found) objects, and unscripted audience participation. Many of these are done/ shown in a random fashion and are frequently used in combination with each other. Another important characteristic is the minimal nature of fluxus. Works are simple, performances were kept brief, the art was small, and texts short. An important element in fluxus has always been humor as well. Fluxus art also encourages a sort of eco/ environmentally friendly ethic to the world because most fluxus artists will use whatever materials they have on hand to create their art with.…

    When our class visited Joan and Robert Rechnitz Hall I felt as if this would be a hard assignment because I felt as if none of the artwork would catch my attention, seeing as I’ve never had an interest in artwork while growing up.

I discussed with the director of community service director, collected all their paintings, and determined the exhibition location by calling AOA art.…

    An artist who manifests quite clearly the sensibility of this sort of stylelessness is Pádraig Timoney. His exhibitions, famously, are said to resemble group shows. In a short essay by Alessandro Rabottini this avoidance of recognizable style is described as something the artist practices with 'extreme and paradoxical coherence', achieving a 'radical eclecticism' in presenting works that do not resemble one another. Timoney not only fragments the subjective authority we might expect to find when many of an artist's works are gathered together, but disables the viewer's ability to recognize a subjective thesis in the totality of the works. The exhibition, in fact, becomes an assembly where, according to Rabottini, 'each work as a distinct unit (become) coordinates'. This is according to Rabottini, a way of fragmenting the singular authorship of an artistic practice until it can form a curatorial…
