Abstraction-The Curator Project

For this project we were given a New York Gallery, and we had to research it to see what the current art work has in common...an overall feel of the gallery. Then we were to come up with a way to radically change the artwork or artists the museum hosted. We would be curatoring this new show at the Gallery. My Gallery was the Yosi Milo Gallery, which is a photography gallery. I noticed that the subject matter and types of photographs and such were all very broad, so I had to look for something else. So I noticed that all the pictures were very much in focus and what u saw was what it was for the most part. So that made me think about abstract paintings and other abstract art forms, and wondered if photography could also become abstract. I came up with 11 different ways to abtract a photograph, which is discussed in my paper. Here are the images I used.
