Art Work Research Gallery There are three different types of galleries that house exhibitions of artworks. One such form is a public gallery. A public gallery is a non-profit organisation who are funned by the government, bequests and donations. A public gallery is responsible for the collection, storage and display of artworks in accordance with gallery policies. They have a range of temporary exhibitions that cover a broad range of artistic styles and genres. Artworks may be the work of individual artists or a group of artists. The Bendigo Art Gallery for example displays the works of key contemporary artists who may be based in Bendigo or beyond. When an exhibition is held in the gallery, the gallery is responsible for the display of the work, organising and opening function, promotion of the exhibition through advertisement and promotions also through other media sources such as newspapers, television and radio. As public galleries do not gain a profit from exhibitions they are able to choose to display any kind of art, regardless of the artworks commercial appeal to the public audience. A commercial galleries are another type of gallery. They are a private business which is profit based. They are responsible for a stable of artists, which are selected by the Director of the galley. The artwork is displayed on a regular basis, usually once a year, with the artists being either exclusively aligned with a single commercial galley only allowing their work to be featured at one gallery, or they are more of a free lanced artists whose work can be displayed at more then one gallery. A... ... middle of paper ... ...just something thrown together and hey presto it's not an artwork. Before his stunt Cavallaro said "I have to do it, or else the idea is like a ball and chain, weighing me down". His previous art works include a 2002 stunt where he covered an entire house with 10,000 pounds of cheese. I believe Cavallaro's work to also not be art. This art piece doesn't represent and shown any expression and meaning. There is nothing to show what the artist was feeling and nothing to generate any feelings from the piece itself except that the question of how can this be art? is raised in the viewers mind. The idea that he has made more then one of these silly excuses for art is beyond me. While some people may call his work a form of art I still feel that the definition of art isn't being justified by Cavallaro's work, or by Laala's.
