Resource Description

Band 6 essay for art. Many artists and very adaptable to questions.

Exhibitions are carefully constructed and curated in an attempt to convey a certain concept and point of view to its their audiences. Curators have a responsibility to not only create an exhibition of aesthetic value but one that renders thought within its audience creating a personal impact. Thus, within the exhibition titled “Who am I? Who are you? Who are we?”, artworks have been specifically organiszed and selected to convey the notion of identity, exploring ideas of the human condition. The exhibition containing a wide variety of artists such as Barbra Kruger, Ryan Presley, Glen Ligon, Marc Quinn, and Francis Bacon respectively, contains five sub-sections: Feminist identity, Australian identity, African American identity, universal and collective identity, and political and social identity. In this way, the exhibition has been shaped to convey to the audience the diversity of identity and individuality within the collectivity, having a wide variety of artistic forms and subject matter in
which the audience can resonate with. Hence, the exhibition invites the audience to reconsider their own identity, regardless of their culture, beliefs, and values, and challenge
how society views themself. This correlates to my Major Work series “ The curious case of the curious humans”, exploring humanity’s most frequently asked question and thus addressing the human quality of curiosity, in humanity’s constant questioning of the world around them in an attempt to solidify their identity and understand  humanity as a whole.
