The traditional art gallery-sterile, windowless screening rightly the “white cube” of artists and critics Brian O’Doherty 1976 marked the art world for decades as the primary way to display works dominated. The white cube, which has been compared to an operating room, and once tomb was as a way to maintain neutrality samples while looking at the art. “The outside world does not come, so windows are usually sealed. The walls are painted white. The ceiling is the light source. The wooden floor is polished, so that together clicks clinically, or a carpet, in so that the relief in silence, placing his feet and his eyes are on the wall. the art is free, as it was used to take his own life :, “” O’Doherty wrote in Artforum But his eerie, clinical neutrality the cube has its price creates something artificial in the way that the viewer be .. If you do not dress the right way or frequent certain city cube: interacting with art, both from the outside world to remove and those who do not watch this room or a trip the cube has been perceived as a symbol of elitism. content had not been for you. and if you do not know the right people, showed the possibilities of your work, there were even slimmer. Now, accessible gallery pandemic, alme No temporarily, by inspiring curators and re-imagine how art writers could be shared. But while the artist circumstances efforts today are new to think such restrictions are not. In 1960, the members of the movement Fl Uxus produced works, that blurs the distinction between art and life and denounced the formalities of the gallery. Every day could art actions, and many of the works could not be re-staged or reproduced in full. Yoko Ono’s Cut Piece, in which the artist sat on a stage with a pair of scissors and invited the public turns their clothes to make the cut, confusing the relationship between the viewer and the art and challenges every kind of neutrality. The Land Art movement of the ’60s and’ 70s saw Sculpt artists to create large-scale earth works like Robert Smithson 1,500 ft-long Spiral Jetty of salt crystals, water and basalt of Utah Great Salt Lake that their anti creators held trade policy by nature: Unlike photographs, there was no way there are massive pieces within four walls. The “earthworks” were made at this time the exact opposite of what the white cube shown; Instead realized in an existing cavity which destroyed the outside world, these works were the outside world. Such as the galleries during the social distancing and stay-at-home order, this spirit of creativity, if not anti-establishment thinking are closed, a new relationship between art and the viewer informed. post video games, the following examples are just some of the ways in which artists and museums have taken this difficult time to prove once again that opportunities are open to the point of interacting with the art, such a space is closed. A gallery thumbnail On March 27, the artist Eben Haines allows small work undertaken Shelter in Place Gallery, a showroom to create miniature artists appear larger when photographed and shared on Instagram. observations of sample images Artist and suggestions via e-mail, Haines and his partner Delaney Dameron the selected artists will drop rate or publish your work. Then they install and photograph every little personal art exhibition, which lasts less than a week. “The fact that the room is in miniature, and which includes the viewer that this is a production, means that for details at the end of the research: the masonry and the management and poorly placed outputs water stains where the skylight is leaked” says Haines. For artists who do not have access to their studies now, little work is to create a lot more possible than they could carry their usual work. They are “able to make more ambitious work than they could ever large-scale afford it, let alone have shown in a commercial gallery,” says referring spectacle Haines, the prohibitive cost of real estate for urban tunnels that might otherwise more, large-scale works. artists on display include B. Chehayeb (whose work see above), the paintings of abstract memories of growing Mexican American, and Maria Pedicini installation that creates mixed-media room hanging from the rafters. “We hope”, he Haines says. “We let people work he wanted to make them more” curated video game in 2020 you can create your own Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh, or at least have a pixelated version depends on the virtual kitchen stove. With the Getty Museum Animal Crossing Art Generator tool Los Angeles, players of the popular Nintendo game where users create a whimsical islands, and friendship with the animals that inhabit it, can search through the museum collection in the open and the ‘ access to import images into their game. Then players can show any work, but choose: on the wall; on a piece of clothing; or even virtually visit in their galleries, friends who can also play the game. to bring art into a game and turns into a fictional world context is fully implemented, playful elements to make them malleable. The players, in a sense, are the curators. “It is not only user access to our collections, but also allows them to also make the museum experience for me,” says Selina Chang Yi-Zawacki, a software engineer who developed the project at the Getty. “In general, the typical museum is very hard experience. It ‘set for you; There is a river you must follow, but with this tool you can do what you want.” Some users have chosen to print the scanned versions of them selected works to bring the digital back in the physical world. The Association of art history degree at the University of California, Irvine used, the tool also works on a virtual art displays add to the opening of an exhibition in honor campus canceled. Mail Art The decades-old populist art practice often referred to as mail art or mail art has seen a revival in recent months known. The rules are simple: all you need to do some ‘of a work of art of any brand type (drawing, collage, poetry, etc.) that fit in an envelope and mail it to another correspondent. Dada artist Marcel Duchamp, Fluxus artist On Kawara and many others practiced the form in the late 20th century. won the importance of the movement in 1950 when Ray Johnson, the system of galleries would complain encouraged his network of acquaintances and strangers to the workload through the mail. Johnson would send the models have their own designs, with bullets of copies, such as “Please include Cher,” matching hair would add its own brand to the program before returning him or someone else’s path. The project eventually became known as the New York Correspondence School. As a stay-at-home orders came into force, several artistic projects email emerged. art collector and curator held for such a project, Nashville-based Jason Brown has an open invitation as “My view from home.” The initiative urges people around the world in their work, sending Brown and collects contributions to the project site and Instagram account. After the submission period is over, Brown plans to donate to the program on the Special Collections Library at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. According to Brown, which has more than 350 works from 27 countries, including India, Cuba and Germany. “It extends the idea of what an artist. Mail artists from all walks of life, and most are not professional artists,” says Brown. “All you need is your imagination and a stamp.” Jason Pickleman, a graphic artist and gallery owner based in Chicago, gave an exhibition of art placed on Instagram live and plans 600 works in the mail in little divvying Group received interest as “a library can be sent to every experience in the collection. ” The project, entitled “maill” (Mail Art Lending library inventory) goals “a museum of your inbox,” as he expresses Pickleman, and allow you to create an art that seems to become a tactile and intimate experience. Besides Pickleman, it’s nice to open your email and discover the art, rather than bills or mail order catalogs. resident “drive-by” organized exhibitions of artists and theorists Warren Neidich Los Angeles “drive-by-type” is a unique mix of physical and digital, which creates an experience of an art socially distant. back Art to its starting position is aimed at bringing the artists studio, where Neidich believes that the work permit to use a viewer online maps in its purest and most powerful state his shows past works to drive on artists shows the lawn , porches and mailboxes from the safety of their cars. He came up with the idea is seized after the beginning of the pandemic in a cabin; “His” response to feelings of isolation and separation Drive-by-Art “is already completed.” Neidich Shows in L.A. New York and Long Island, and plans to expand to other cities and countries.
