You think you can see the art but there is a barrier obscuring your vision -- distance from the actual art piece can distort your perception, and not being able to see how a work of art hangs or is displayed next to or near other works of art -- that can be an issue too. We'd hate for you to finally take delivery of your newest conversation piece just to find out it doesn't fit where you wanted it, or the color clashes too much with your chartreuse drapes.
Most art is non-refundable. The gallery used to be a place to go to meet up with friends and exchange ideas and build community.
Patrons and students alike would come to see a show and then talk about it with their peers the next day. The arts community has grown to be less real and more superficial because of things like social media and sites like Facebook. With all the good that social media does as a marketing tool for galleries, artists and the arts as a whole, it also removes something from the art world equation: community.
Galleries are one such place to build a community -- a real, true social network -- your art ecosystem, and that is important.
It's been this way forever. Warm body introductions are important. Social networks on the internet are okay to rack up followers or friends, but a great quote that I read in the book The Start-Up of You by Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn states, "There is a big difference between being the most connected person and being the best connected person. In general, a fine art gallery can offer an open, eye appealing space where visitors can view and appreciate art. However, why are art galleries so important to us?
Art galleries can showcase the history of a particular culture in a visual manner. As such, this visual history provides a snapshot of what life was like at a particular period of time through the artwork.
For instance, the art may provide information about the people living in a particular time period. The art may also help to explain the social and political climate at the time the artwork was made.
More importantly though, the art showcases the perspective of any one particular artist during a certain moment in time. Former Director Lonnie G. While such fervent hatred exist, it makes the need for African American stories to be told even clearer.
Thanks to the rise in technology over the last two decades, what it means to be a museum is being questioned and challenged. Modern tech is transforming museums from spaces of looking and learning to spaces of interaction, participation and engagement. This is evident in major institutions around the world, including the Detroit Institute of Arts. The tour, introduced in , can be implemented on a handheld device available inside the building.
When the device is pointed at certain sculptures, artefacts or paintings, more information about them is made available. Pop-up snippets, detailed descriptions and additional photography are just a few examples of what the devices offer, increasing the average time visitors spend engaging with items inside the collection. Similarly, the ArtLens Interactive Studio at the Cleveland Museum of Art contains a variety of screen-based activities that require physical movement and interaction from the viewer in order to operate.
Examples such as these show the changing faces of museums, as curators begin to think outside the box and develop more immersive, social and collaborative ways of learning for visitors. Advances in technology have also made museums more accessible than ever. For those who might struggle to attend an institution in person, museums and galleries are increasingly sharing their collections online.
Virtual reality, digital guides, downloads, apps and digital trails are all becoming increasingly available to anyone and everyone. We need museums because their future is so full of possibility and opportunity — and more people than ever can access them.
Speaking of the future, museums and other cultural institutions will always have a role to play in the education of future generations. From creating exhibitions targeted towards children to teaching children in a quasi-classroom environment, institutions around the world are doing their bit to pass down knowledge.
Behind an artwork hanging in the walls of a house, there is a route, a story. A road that goes from the moment the artist creates to the day the gallery selects it for an exhibition and shows it to the public. There are different types of galleries, but all of them are open to the public. Anyone can visit them, enjoy the show and share doubts and thoughts with the gallerist. Art galleries exhibit works by artists known by the general public, drive the career of young contemporary artists or recover the name of those artist whom, despite the quality of their work, for historical reasons have been relegated to the background.
