I really enjoyed the class visit to the Cooley art gallery in Reed College. I have never been to Reed, let alone the Cooley Gallery so it was a great experience. The curator, Stephanie Snyder, did a good job explaining to us her role as a curator and what it entails. At first it seems like it would be very easy but after listening for awhile I have come to the conclusion that it takes lots of hard work and time to create an exhibition.
I thoroughly enjoyed this exhibit. I thought that the layout was very unique and the room flowed well. It really made me want to concentrate on each section of the exhibition individually but by the end of the exhibit I was able to understand why these pieces were put together in this exhibit. My favorite piece had to be the video of the guy writing on the walls throughout china. He wrote the same thing everytime and no matter how many times he got in trouble he would continue to write. I really enjoyed how their was the video and behind the tv screen was the passage that he continuously wrote. It went together very nicely.
