Artistcloseup’s Post

Wrote this blog post last July about how museums can be less racist. I begin by discussing a recent dissatisfying experience at The Art Institute in Chicago and then dive into my own thoughts and research about strategic plans surrounding anti-racism. I wrap it up by highlighting some museums that are doing it right like The Tucson Museum Of Art. Let me know what you think, and visit my website for more blog posts, paintings & museum exhibition design.

As long as the work of art remains is important. Museums can debate. They can go to court about who owns what. In the end, where is the art. What wall hangs the work, or is it put into storage. Collectors might own the work, but where is the work itself? You might own it, but do we see it? #artgallery #artcollection #arthistory #artconsultant #artmuseum #seeing #learning #create https://lnkd.in/e-NgsXy3

The exciting new cultural developments, allied to rapid technological progress and the availability of consumer electronics, ensured that television and film became ripe for exploitation by artists, both as subjects for artistic commentary such as in the work of Pop artists, but also to explore as a medium and vehicle for the artistic content itself. However, despite the fact that video art is arguably the most apposite medium for echoing the mores and characteristics of contemporary society, there are several reasons why video art is still considered amongst the most challenging for art lovers and and collectors. Many video works seem as if they might require special access to expensive or unwieldy technological equipment, whilst the seeming lack of tangible object ownership unlike that associated with painting and sculpture creates additional wariness. However, the most common objection seems to be the time based element of the work. Time, for many, is the most valuable commodity of all, and the very fact that a video work demands a greater kind of commitment and attention than a painting or a sculpture, is enough for it to be considered too challenging for many to be truly embraced in a broad sense. Many of the early prominent video artists were those involved with concurrent movements in conceptual art, performance, and experimental film. These include Americans Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Joan Jonas, Dan Graham, Bruce Nauman, Peter Campus, William Wegman, Martha Rosler and many others. There were other innovators were who were interested in the formal qualities of video as a means of image making and employed video synthesizers to create abstract works. In the 1980s video art enjoyed a further renaissance, when advances in editing technology for the individual user led to a spate of works that developed both narrative and non-linearity, but also stream of consciousness explorations of psychology, which were especially served through advances in technology that could facilitate interactivity.
