The art curator is the medium between the artist and the viewers. You have to inform the viewers of what the artist means through their art. Communicate with an exhibition design team to design exhibitions. Curators do a lot of independent research to learn more about the art they are working with and the artists that made the art. This helps the curator understand the art and how to design it within an exhibition so it flows well. I thought the themes that Wayne Baerwaldt pointed out helped with my art exhibit because he outlined what a good exhibit would have, how it is organized, and what points to always keep in mind when setting up a design. Felicity Fenner discussed all the organization necessary to create and open an art exhibition. Fenner also talked about the choice and the meanings of the name of the exhibition. The name reveals what the art exhibition will be about before the viewers even see the art. The name also alludes to the theme of the exhibition. This is a key factor that must be thought out because without a proper name the exhibit may not feel coherent. Some curators deal with just the history of an artwork to set up an exhibit. Peter Alter is a curator for museums, so finding out all the history about a piece of art is a must.
This project opened my eyes to how much work an art exhibition could be. Since I based my theme off of an art movement and how it affected life I needed to know the reason why artists such a Lichtenstein and Warhol created these art works. It was also essential to know what time period these paintings were done in because Pop art is all about taking the normal and ordinary items at the time and turn them into something different. It was easy to find the paintings and prints, however it was difficult to connect them into one cohesive exhibit.
