art label

Using the methods established in the Label Assignments from Weeks 2, 3 and 4, you will build a virtual exhibition by selecting 7 different artworks based on the meanings they build when placed in conversation with each other. Your exhibition could be: 

• One label per week: Write a label for an artwork made by an artist listed every week on the schedule from weeks 5-12. If you choose this route, you should write 8 object labels total instead of 7 plus and introductory labels. (no title and introductory label necessary) 

Regardless of which route you choose, you virtual exhibition should include:

• A title that gives the viewer insight into what they will see • an introductory label that explains what the exhibition is

about (your exhibition's thesis statement) and why these objects / artists have been brought together.  Spend some time reading about different exhibitions online to get some examples. 

• 7 object labels: one for each work of art in the exhibition. Object labels are based on the exercises that we did at the beginning of class and should include ◦ an image of the work  ◦ captions (artist name, title of work, medium,

dimensions, museum collection or owner) ◦ A brief paragraph about your chosen object based on

research into that artwork. This paragraph should include five different points about that object or artist’s practice, such as:

• Artist: biography or their intention in making the object • Tribal Affiliation: the object’s cultural significance and/or

function within its culture • Title: An analysis of how its title helps unfold its meaning • Date: The context in which it was made 

• Medium: The materials and processes used to make the piece

• Dimensions: qualities of scale and what its effects upon a viewer are

• Collection: How did it enter into a museum? What was the artist’s experience dealing with the artworld?

• Form: Details about its formal properties (including description and visual analysis)

• Reception: How did critics write about it? What was the audience’s response to it in its moment? How has that response changed?

there is a list of artist working in that general time period listed under each day. If you choose to write one label per week, you'd need to explore the artists in that list to be able to choose an art work to write about. !!
