Who Wants to Be a Curator?

The reason why i picked this article was because i wanted to know what curating was..what do curators do? Everyone seems like curator if they have a blog, twitter etc. The article talks about how everyone can be a curator but a traditional curator is one that needs to be able to “contextualize the work within its historical and socioeconomic framework." 

Programs are set up in major parts of the word to teach students about curating and what it takes to be a curator and how they know a lot then the knowledge of art to be a curator.

Galleries Outside of the Gallery

The norm for galleries these days are decent size spaces with white walls and some hipster behind a desk clicking away at a Mac. It is a contemporary version of a library, but what if artists' work did not call for a traditional gallery space  maybe it could a dark tunnel, the street or an abandoned train however it may be place it increases the audiences interaction with the installation oppose to some security telling you to back away from the work. Here are ten unusual gallery spaces.

Should Artist Become Entrepreneurs?

The reason for a gallery is to display artists' work to the masses but more importantly to seek the attention of the art collectors and buyers who dish out  large amounts of capital on some exclusive pieces. It is quite sad to say that most artist are so focused on their work that they don't truly understand the business end of things, thats why they seek out art dealers and curators. What would this do to galleries if artist took a course and figured out the business aspect and really got the true value of their work and just simply cut out the middle-man.

A Little Something About Moi

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

My name is Michael A. Molina but my photographer alias is M.Samurai, I'm twenty-two years of age and like was mentioned before I'm a photographer. A quick history on how I came to New Jersey City University, first I was enrolled in St. Peter's College (now St. Peter's University).  I was a Communications major hopeful in becoming a "journalist". However, it was not doing anything for me so I searched for a new outlet and I came across photography. I decided new career choice new institution and NJCU was the answer and I'm glad I'm here learning more about my craft.

My style of photography has changed since I began in NJCU but I really appreciate the fine art aspect and also the commercial aspect of photography and would like to make my mark in one or the other.

Other than that I'm straight-forward, easy going and hilarious guy.
