Curated Exhibition Written Proposal

Curated Exhibition Written Proposal

Off Shore

Artists: Maria José Benvenuto/ Adam Chang/ Joseph Zbukvic

Curator: Binrong Tang

1. WHAT?

Curation of the artifacts has not been done properly, and thus the existence of the exhibition hall can help in preparation for these precious artifacts for the benefit of preserving the culture. One of the reasons why the curation might not have taken place is the continued argument of the ownership of these artifacts by Britain. To warrant curation and hence restitution of ownership, it is important to first conduct the archeological site research on its link with the historical culture. The proposal provides some of the main steps  followed to helping the archeological site and the exhibition halls to see some sense in curation as it points at a positive cultural impact on the nation. The main problem is resolved through ensuring that the exhibition hall referred to as the cultural references for the nation and thus its collection, cleaning, documentation, and further Exhibition in Some national museums.

1.1 Introduction

I like how The Metropolitan Museum of Art, located in New York, is displaying artworks from different eras from as long as 1400AD, and they are all made up of different topics and drawing techniques. According to the artist, Johannes Vermeer, the met’s permanent collection includes the museum’s paintings from Dutch masters, which depict different scenes, such as political figures, or simplified historical aspects of certain phenomena (Crane, 2016). However, from these unique arts, I was influenced to come up with this project to display various curatorial concept as well as making the idea into practice by coming up with a project of the same. This paper would reveal my thoughts about an exhibition named Off Shore, which is a topic I got inspired by visiting the museum talked above and also through reading books and published academic paperwork relating to contemporary curating. The structure of the paper will be split into five parts: What, Why, Who and How, Where, and lastly Why, followed by a conclusion. This is to demonstrate the full aspects of different elements required to run the show and some reasons behind why running it.

2. WHY?

The idea of curetting is not fully defined, and most of these precious marbles which represent part of the culture are yet to be fully curated. The research proposal presents the possibility of curating s, which are found at the word’s artifacts.

• Curatorial Premise

The exhibition represents the many dimensions of artifacts’ practice, presenting an array of components that serve as documentation of underwater exploration, including three-dimensional modified kayaks, pinhole cameras, constructed darkrooms, assembled devices/equipment, and two-dimensional drawings, journals, and photographs. All photographs were taken with camera obscura pinhole cameras. The Underwater Pinhole Camera. The buildings are made of aluminum and Teflon construction with miscellaneous marine and plumbing materials and attached barnacles. Kepler’s Klepperis a folding Klepper kayak with a functional camera obscura attachment. A second repurposed river kayak, called Kayak/Darkroom, is equipped to take and process underwater photographs. The kayaks are propped up on white pedestals, appearing as they might in a museum. The pedestals also adjust installations to a particular form, which is impressive to the viewers.

2.1.1 Culture and Offshore as a Source of Influence

However, due to growing standards of living, there is more spare time and the more need for people to travel overseas. Individuals are now more interested in cultural tourism, thus visiting more cultural attractions and museums. “Museums have a role where they change their understanding or appearance of an area” (Black, 2012). Information provided in the museums changes the perception of what people thought about a particular area and bring more meaningful understanding. Museums also make a nation to be unique. Each country has different resources in the museum, making tourists interested in finding out what every country consists of. Tourists can paste nation individuality depending on the resources within that country.

Cultural identity is strengthened through the promotion and protection of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible cultural heritage is protected; as an example, visitors can learn about a culture by observing preserved instruments. They make sure that all stories about the past are told because development shows the value of human life and is tied to human creativity (Ambrose et al., 2018). The objects in the museum are based on certain studies of the past that help provides accurate information about cultures and how they live, the programs and exhibits in the museum are designed to attract visitors and the public.

Tourism is also one of the main sectors of a country’s economic development, and the government always needs support in museums and cultural attractions to protect cultural heritage. Compared with other tourism activities such as adventure tourism, educational tourism, and ecotourism, cultural tourism provides a credible resource for the community and the country as a whole (Reijnders, 2016). The museum can use media like Twitter and Facebook to communicate with its audience and provide an efficient service to its customers, as well as information about museum products, event tickets, and exhibitions.

2.1.2 Culture Concerns

Visitors’ preference for cultural heritage can provide important information for formulating sustainable and effective development strategies. Heritage tourism can be divided into three categories: culture, nature, and architecture. Examples of nature include rural landscapes, landforms and plants, and animals. Heritage tourism includes arts and crafts, festivals, and traditional products. Monuments, sites, and historic buildings are all examples of heritage tourism that has been built to support local wealth because tourism advertising attracts others who travel to the country and bring wealth with them. The government well protects these places, and they help boost human intelligence because the culture is not so effective at influencing the world.

So far, tourism discourse centered around the needs of tourists and the interests of the industry, and the human rights perspective requires us to shift to a community-centered approach. It is reasonable to realize that tourists already have a home to retreat to while locals do not (Smith, 2015). The locals know best where they live and its carrying capacity, they must bear the consequences of their choices, and they have the fundamental right to receive visitors.

The museum plays an important and unique role in keeping the collection of objects past and present and in explaining past examples used in museum shop projects past spears and arrows, which help this generation understand what people used to live and what arrows looked like in the past (Trinh, 2016). It also makes education easier, because they remember what they have learned, and museums store things that are in use now for future use. In the next few years, some of the items we use will no longer have value, and museums save them so that future generations will have an understanding of these objects, understand what is taught, and help them understand how people lived in the past just like us learning from our prior generations. My project, in particular, emphasizes the importance of home and one’s own culture, Off Shore, means an individual remembered where he or she came from and will bring the past along with his or her journey.

3. WHO & HOW?

Curation of the artifacts will be of great benefit to the world since most of its archeological sites can be turned into exhibition sites and end the continuing arguments for the existence of their cultural artifacts in the European museums. Curation will increase the tourists to the country who will identify the artifacts with the existing understandings of the culture. The research is also of great benefit with the understanding that artifacts had only been seen as being able to be displayed through the Roman copies for a long time. The time lord Elgen took it to Europe caused a big sensational, and to this data, it is still a big sensation in the foreign country, yet it was deliberately taken from the Greek land. The research can help ascertain the relevant link to artifacts with the ancient culture through archeology. It is only through archeology that the history and the culture link can be adequately ascertained.

3.1 Artists & Selected Artworks

The artist portrayals were reinterpreted, repainted several times by different painters from various governments and various periods, and this is how important the exhibition of the artwork is to the overall world culture. The general crafts are to the scene when done. However, the imitation of the canvas is that it was obtained from the general subject accepted by the artist, with different subtleties, materials, and methods used. The first piece of parchment was passed near a group of private owners before it was finally presented to all as a display case in an open historical center (Cutler, 2017). Among the selections of arts, I considered for my curatorial project are the following:

Artist 1: MARÍA JOSÉ BENVENUTO

Figure 1. Circles 3

Figure 2. The Couple

This artwork has been painted by María José Benvenuto, which includes a convoluted blend of highlights, pieces, and structure. The salient feature of this style is that the road is not straight, consistent with the style of landscape painting, no path or driveway is straight in this artistic creation. Waterways, paths, and roads will attempt to replicate features that are not straight or straight due to the forces of the terrain; besides, the sketch is consistent with all the landscape style canvases, having an inner or inner heart (Cutler, 2017). In this case, it would be leaning over the scaffolding in the creek, the center conveys the focal importance of composition and is the confluence of all other elements. The heart also conveys the overall character of the painting.

Artist 2: Adam Chang

Figure 2. Shan Shui with Panda 1808, 2018

Figure 3. Ai Weiwei No.3

The most beautiful thing about this work of art is its measure of detail, and even the smallest parts are painted, a measure of precision and care that, for a work of such magnitude, has given this painting and other artisans countless incentives to paint. Complex subtlety and creative authority give a rich scene, drawn by artisans, and this vast detail is equally meant to compose a pile of translations that remain open (Richards, 2016). Various gatherings at different times provided their understanding of the work of art, and some are accurate, some are not.

Artist 3: Joseph Zbukvic

In the city, you can see different people engaged in different financial activities. These people include businessmen, people who collect money, the poor, people who work on boats, retailers and merchants in shops, people who are homeless on the streets, crystal gazers, and prophets (Yang, 2010). A mere glance at these exercises reveals the same carpenters, metal-makers, masons, proprietors, priests, teachers, millers, and even respectable men of insight. All these activities take place within the entrance to the city, which might be called a focal point of business.

Works of art also show commercial and living structures of different styles and sizes, which are directly reflected by the general public in Songline. In addition to shops and restaurants, you can see private structures, shelters, boarding houses, and similar official government structures (Yang, 2010). The private structures extend from gigantic palatial chateaus with yards in the front and the back to small dull cottages. This may be seen as a portrayal of the riches hole in the general public at that specific period amid the Song Tradition.

3.2 The Curator

My grandfather and mother were both calligraphers, and their previous exhibitions were all paid by galleries. So I want to be a curator to help them curate their exhibition. After graduation from Fine Arts, my works have been exhibited. In my opinion, artists who become curators can better deal with the thought process and emotional process of artists. The idealistic perspective and atmosphere of the exhibitions. Artists as curators are different and professional. They have a variety of curatorial forms to better present and accurately express their works. As curators, artists can better integrate into society, penetrate society, and meet the needs of exhibitions.

3.3 Marketing and Public Relations

South Yarra is known for its robust economic background. Thus, we can let the real estate business to work together with the gallery, create cultural openness and cultural diversity cooperation. That way, the people living near the real estate will be interested in attending the exhibition since it is a perfect opportunity for them to make friends while browsing and purchasing art pieces. Lastly, the real estate will put out an advertisement for the new buyers about the artwork, such as buying artwork from the exhibition would be a beautiful addition for your new home.

3.4 Budget

4. WHERE?

The selected elements will help in ascertaining whether these elements will be linked to the historical aspects and also its implication in determining whether these artifacts can be documented as some of the identity and cultural aspects of the country. The elements will also ensure that if they are related to those who have been documented by other countries, it will gain relevance its argument for the owner as well as ensuring that the age difference is determined by use of the Carbon Dating. The qualitative research will also help in going through some documentation in many other books and journals.

4.1 The Gallery

The floor plan will be split into two main parts, left and right, and the right area is entirely open, where there are people from the countryside to move on comfortably. In this work of art, there are fields where crops are grown, and the average person is thought to be a rancher, a herdsman, and perhaps one or two poor people. The area to the left of the artwork is very rustic, with two entrances into the city (Hooper-Greenhill, 2013). In this city, people from all backgrounds are engaged in a whirlwind movement. The city is connected to the countryside by a village street, which in the long run will extend into the city street and the prosperous city. This splitting into two specific aspects is further proof of the extent to which the craftsman’s brain can become a part, and the old expert can no doubt see two completely unexpected philosophies without fundamentally allowing them to interfere with one another.

Antiquated innovation is likewise in plain view in this artwork, particularly those headways that have occurred in the domain of transportation. Boats with rudders and vessels with poles were a generally new thing around then, in terrain as well as on the planet. A portion of the general population living in the urban focus is additionally observed to apply a type of agricultural innovation where individual greenhouses are flourishing (Cheng, 2016). These comprise of little fixes neighboring the private structures where the proprietors would plant nourishment for their utilization. Inside the patio nurseries, one can likewise observe fake mountains, lakes and shake developments in these individual greenery enclosures.

My gallery is selected to be near South Yarra, and the reason, as mentioned earlier, is that it could bring me the most possibilities for selling the prints because my artists are fantastic. My partner real estate would do their best in advertising these arts. When thinking of art pieces, the best group of people that are willing to buy is those who can afford it, and South Yarra is the one from many suburbs within Victoria where people has higher wages and love arts; therefore this decision is made carefully to fit within the Australian market.

5. WHEN?

The process will start in the course of this year on date 7/7/2029 with the site excavation to get some of the facts which might have been covered by soils or other materials. It will be followed the collection of all the artifacts found within site. Samples for the artifacts will then be taken to the labs for radiocarbon dating and further analysis of their structures. To ensure that the site will provide the best representative samples, it will be proper to use stratified random sampling. This method involves picking some of the natural zones within the area to find “strata,” then the units for excavation will be determined by picking randomly different five positions within each stratum. The general area will be divided into four zones (North, South West, and East of the temple location.

• Schedule

Table 2. Schedule

From Table 2, we see the schedule of our exhibition is quite intensive, and many time slots are negotiable with the funding groups, working staff, and the real estate. The goal is to be flexible while having a big picture of what is going on and hope to get the full three weeks of the show. I have to consider also any out of control circumstances such as crisis happening around the venue, disasters, disease spread, and always having a plan B to make sure getting through the whole process smoothly to protect best the rights and interests of myself, the artists, the visitors, and many others.

6. Conclusion

The paper above has connected the exhibitions from the two named artist and their work to a common theme, minimalism, clarity, and space. The roles and work of a curator also became more vivid as I organized the following slides above. Their work as a manager to oversee and manage cultural heritage, customs, or art in the various institution they were assigned to was encouraging. This assignment also furnished my documentation skills as I understood that both creation of documents and the techniques used in management. However, after reading various articles and viewing some of their works, it hence became easier and natural.
