Task 3 : Meaning of Galley,Curator and Artwork.

Meaning what is Gallery, Curator, and Artwork

               Explain about curator, what is curator? In my opinion from my research curator is the person responsible for collections of artifacts or work of art, acquiring objects or collections of interest to the museum/gallery. Curator also need to cataloging acquisitions and keeping records, carrying out background research and writing catalogs, when the artworks send to gallery curator must be displaying objects or collections in way that makes them accessible and engaging to the general public.

            A curator is the person responsible for a specific collection in a cultural heritage institution such as an archive, a library, or a museum. The curator specializes in a subject relevant to the collection and is deeply informed about the content it contains. This person is responsible for selecting material to go into the collection writing documentation, reports, and catalogs that describe the material overseeing its maintenance and preservation; and often performing other activities such as publishing research on the collection, arranging to meet with researchers who want to use or learn about the collection, and other activities. A curator may be a librarian, and archivist, a historian, or hold an advanced degree in any of a number of subjects.

            Touch of the title about gallery, gallery divided into two parts, one of part gallery is temporary storage, sometimes the artwork making by artist they want to get back they artworks, they just rent the place to exhibit the artwork, the purpose exhibit the artwork at gallery this is because the others people can touch the artwork, smell, feeling the past and can feel the situation. Some of people when they look at the artwork they will think what the artist want to convey the message of artwork and purpose put in the gallery, artist must be know how to exhibit the artwork and look interesting when others people come to see the artwork.

Figure 2: The Gallery

                Touch the title of Artwork, artwork is created by artist either through painting, sculpture 3D like the real things but using recycle things that have been removed. In addition photography artists also will be exhibiting their work through photos that are printed and have a specific message to convey to others. Installation art also the artwork and can be exhibit in gallery but must have the nice place/space to exhibit and others people can feel, touch, and smell.
