Conclusion

During the process of organizing this exhibition, I found it especially difficult and challenging to pull even just ten works by various artists. It is always somewhat difficult to find information about artists, especially smaller artists or artists who keep to themselves, and so finding this amount of information, though it may seem basic, was exhausting. One thing that came naturally was the research of different works, because I do so for myself in my spare time and for inspiration. I enjoy searching through endless paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc., so that part of the project was actually enjoyable. However, it was challenging finding artist names, let alone all of the other requirements, because people often disregard the artist and post only the work. It gets to the point where finding facts is near impossible unless the artist is well-known, so many pieces I would have like to have been in the shown had to get taken out due to lack of information available. I feel that the job of a curator would be incredibly stressful and time consuming. Whether it be simply choosing pieces or gathering information needed from the artists, the process must be difficult. Overall, I feel like the theme I chose made it easy to connect artists, because they're all sort of a community of horror loving misfits. Though they have individual processes, ideas, and concepts, they all have similar moods and themes.
