Archived exhibitions at Anton Kern Gallery

The Anton Kern Gallery has a website that represents its artists well, and also provides photos from past exhibitions as far back as 1996. Not every listed exhibit had images when I first looked a few years ago, but there are at least a few for each show now, as far as I could tell. The newer exhibits have press releases as well, and more images from each exhibit. One odd thing that I found was that if I started going through the pictures using the arrows by the numbers to the left, I was shown the images in sequence, but if I clicked on the photos themselves, I was taken to the pictures from the current exhibition. It's easy enough to get back to where I was, but annoying just the same.

I first found out about this gallery through a New York Times review by Michael Kimmelman,  Pulp Nonfiction, Ripped From the Tabloids, of  Enrique Metinides' show there from December 1, 2006 to January 13, 2007. Metinides is a Mexican news photographer with an incredible eye for taking a striking shot of a crime or an accident. The Wikipedia entry doesn't have much information about this photographer but a Google search found this video (with ads) at VBS.tv of him describing and showing his work.

Embrace! this

Embrace! at the Denver Art Museum is an exhibition that has a very thorough web presence. There are seventeen artists with work on display, and each has a separate webpage. On the ones I checked there were descriptions of the exhibit, info about the artist, and, best of all, photos of the installation of each piece of art, with lots of details of the nitty-gritty of installation.
Past exhibitions Check how far back full webpages are present. Even older ones have some good pictures.

The Living Room Candidate

The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2008 is one of the web projects at the Museum of the Moving Image, which "advances the public understanding and appreciation of the art, history, technique, and technology of film, television, and digital media"[1].  The exhibitions page doesn't really lead to much online content but searching the collection can lead to some interesting finds, once you click on the "Collection Catalog" tab. You don't really have to know what you're looking for to find things. For instance, selecting 'boxes' in the 'artifact class' dropdown and 'any' in the 'collection category' and then clicking search finds four objects, or three, depending on how you look at it. All images can be magnified and are quite clear as long as you wait a few seconds.

Clicking around the site can lead to some exciting finds. I clicked on Moving Image Source on the web projects page, and found, among many others, an interview with Melvin Van Peebles which I listened to as I typed this blog. Then under Sloan Science and Film I found dozens of short films. And there are lots of other things, but I'll leave those for you to find on your own.
