For the display of these art pieces in a museum room, I would place all three paintings on a white art easel with a light on the top so the light will illuminate the pictures. The room would be a well-lit room with a large ceiling light above the heads of the viewers. The room would be small so the only things inside the room are the art easels and one large black leather bench that stretches all the way across the entire room in the back of the room facing the paintings. The room would be painted a cream color, and the first art easel, to…
My installation will be in a very small room, fitting only about 10 people in it at once. The room will have no particular or intentional smell and I will have control over the lights, sounds, and tone of the walk. I will be sure to speak in a soft tone to keep people from talking over me, and I’ll be the only one giving the tour. Once my eight or nine viewers enter the purposefully chilled room, the lights will dim and a soft, humming white noise sound will play from an overhead speaker. The hardwood floor will have enough lighting to create a visible…
For this exhibit of exhibitionists, the setup would be fairly simple. As museum attendees enter the lobby, there would be a bar on one side, and a place to buy snacks on the other side. Of course, the bar would have nothing but top shelf single malt scotches that can only be ordered neat. This choice would allow the museum to save money on ice, and pump the leftover funds into the snack bar. I’m thinking pulled pork nachos, maybe some street corn, scotch eggs; fun stuff like that. Popcorn and cotton candy. Once patrons have their booze and snacks, they can…
Display Note: The way that I imagine the installation that I created to be presented has a very simplistic feel when you walk into a room because I want the focus and the attention to be on each painting. Adding more to the room or the wall will distract some museum goers from carefully examining each painting. To begin, the room shouldn’t be too large. The room should be box shaped and have enough space to fit a sofa and have enough space so that the sofa and the paintings aren’t too close to each other. All the paintings will be arranged in a horizontal line with an equal amount of space…
We here at the museum ask those attending this exhibit to remove their shoes and pay attention to all of your senses for the best experience as you walk through the four-dimensional display. The entrance to the exhibit allows attendees to know that there are different touching, smelling, and hearing portions of the exhibit, a warning to those who are sensitive to those things. A hallway that has the words Elemental Sexuality arranged in abstractly positioned cuttings of gold-plated framings. As one walks through the hallway, a blue-hued light caps the end…
My installation at an art museum would be a room designed to make the guests feel like they are outside by recreating the background from the painting into the room. In the center of the room, there is a large pond with a small waterfall. As you enter the room, there is a trail for the guests to follow which leads to Women Bathing. The painting itself is sitting on a fancy stone pedestal with a sign stating the name of the painting, the author, and the year it was painted. There is soft lighting to symbolize early morning light to match that of the…
My three paintings will be presented in a manner with them all rotating clockwise would start with “The Large Bathers” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, then it will go to “Woman Bather” by Henri Manguin, and the last one will be “Les Trois Baigneuses” which translates to “Three Bathers” by Henri Mattise. They will be in a museum, and they will be placed on a table with a rotator like a turntable but big enough to be able to have the paintings on it. They will be showing how different artists perceive people bathing with differentiating painting styles, even if all three…
The three paintings that are part of my installation are Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, Matisse’s Le bonheur de vivre, and Corot’s Bacchante by the Sea. All three of the paintings are set in a natural landscape. The settings of these paintings make the outdoors a large component of the installation. For this reason, I would like to have the painting displayed in a very natural environment. In order for the painting to remain protected and in pristine condition, they must remain inside. Therefore, I would like to create a space…
Each painting displayed will have separate rooms and a hallway entering each room to elicit the tone of the paintings. Additionally, each painting will be temporarily borrowed from where they are currently being housed, presented as the original dimensions. The first painting shown, Lady Godiva painted by Jules Lefebvre, will be the original piece that is currently being exhibited in the Salon Carré, a room in the Louvre Palace in France. The original dimensions of 24.4 x 15.3 inches will be presented. The first hallway that is entered before the room where Lady…
Display Explanation: For my installation, the viewer would walk into a big hexagon-shaped room with high ceilings that would be dimly lit. The original painting I was assigned, titled "Lamia," would be displayed on the wall in front of the viewer, slightly above eye level. In my mind, it would make sense to put the Lamia painting on the middle wall of the room because it is where her story begins. In other words, she is the subject or main character of the story, so all the focus should be cast on her. Thus, putting the "Lamia" painting on the middle wall because our eyes tend…
The premise of the exhibit is to put the spectator in an uncomfortable situation. Although the paintings aren’t “alive,” I want the display to give them life to challenge the viewer. The outside of the installation would be a boring and ominous black box with no source of light able to get into the room. I planned to have all the images in a small room with a door. There wouldn’t be much space, but enough that the person would stand in the middle with about 3 feet between them and the paintings. I don’t want the person to feel claustrophobic or as if they…
The installation will be displayed in a hallway, spacious enough for each portrait to be suspended in the middle of the pathway, around ten feet wall to wall as the biggest painting, Homage to Apollinaire/ Adam and Eve, is around two feet wide and will not become narrower. The dimensions of the three pieces are 180 x 180 cm(The Three Stages of Woman), 200x 189.9 cm( Adam and Eve), and 196.5 x 129 cm(La Vie). The hallway, walls, and ceilings will be an eggshell white to match the various skin tones present in the…
This particular installation will be displayed in a circular museum room, secluded from additional exhibits. The room will be completely monochrome and a calming, regal, emerald green color. The color will be dark enough for the peaceful setting but vibrant enough to portray the naturalistic elements of the images. The entrance to the room and to the exhibit will be protected by a floor length, red, velvet curtain to provide an element of secrecy and mystery. Once guests enter through the long curtains, the room will be dimly lit with a soft, golden…
The 20' by 14' ft room would be divided into three corridors, one directly in front of the entrance and one on either side of the viewer. The hallways leading to the paintings are made of dark panels and are about 8 feet long. Underneath the panels are sensors so your footsteps light up cream on the ground as you walk and spread out around 3 inches. If you are curious enough to touch the walls or ceiling, the same thing happens with your handprint. Each corridor is its own “whisper room”, which means depending on where you are in the hall you hear something…
My installation would be displayed in a smaller room where the walls are painted, and the ceiling is made of glass to let light in so the colors of the paintings can pop. The walls would be painted white so the colors on each of the paintings will truly shine and will be the focus of attention. I want these images to be big so that when the viewer comes close they can see the fine details of the brush strokes and how the brush strokes range from fine to think. The room would be a long hallway where there will be an image on each wall, and at the end of the…
The installation will be displayed in a rectangular room that is dark with blank walls and floors to project the pieces on to. The room is roughly 30 feet wide and 20 feet long, with 10-foot-tall ceilings to multiply the sizes of the pieces. There are dividers on the left and right in the form of two walls joining together at a point, and a wall in the back left corner that creates a diagonal shape. The divider on the left is closer to the entrance that is off-center, creating a diagonal entrance to the first section. The divider on the right is closer to the…
The room that I would select to display the paintings in would be a long, somewhat “skinnier” room. From the door where guests would enter, to the back of the room, the paintings in order would be The Birth of Venus by Alexandre Cabanel, Lady Lilith by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Lilith by John Collier. The Birth of Venus would be placed on a stand/table in the front of the room with sand around the base of the painting and the stand would be angled in toward the middle and guide the guests through the room. The painting…
The installation lies at the end of a nondescript hallway of approximately 20 feet in length. This hallway, like the exhibit itself, has neutral-colored walls of a forgettable beige. The hallway is devoid of artworks. The exhibit itself is a circular room at the end of this hallway, approximately 20 feet in diameter. There is a pillar 5 feet wide in the center of the room. No door separates the hallway and the exhibit, and Matisse’s The Dance stands directly across from the entrance. It, like Nude Descending a Staircase and Dynamism…
My installation will be located in a fifteen feet (wide) by 30 feet (long) display room. It will also consist of a ten feet high ceiling, allowing the paintings to come alive within the viewer’s imagination. There will be no door to enter this standalone display room, however the indicator that you’ve entered will be the shift of color from brown to black within the floor. The room will present the viewer with an eerie feeling upon entrance, as most of it will be very dark. The floor remains black throughout the entire room, and it also remains black upon the…
My paintings will be displayed in a dark room, with walls painted matte black and a bright spotlight on each painting. I want it to be bright enough to illuminate just the painting and not wash out the features of eac woman depicted. I think this will really highlight the paintings themselves. The light and dark also contrasts the meaning of the paintings: that the first woman is responsible for all evil in the world. Darkness is known to represent evil, so, having darkness behind the paintings and light directly on them serves as contrast for the meaning…
