A Life Well-Painted
Virtual Gallery Talk with Artist Carl Gawboy
A Life Well-Painted
The main focus of the project with the Tweed Museum of Art was a Virtual Gallery Talk with artist Carl Gawboy and Professor Rain Newcomb featuring five of Carl’s paintings.
Carl’s gallery was exhibited at the Tweed Museum of Art but because of the pandemic wasn’t open to the public. The Tweed felt it was important to make at least some of his paintings available to the public so decided to do that through a virtual gallery talk.
The talk follows Rain and Carl as they walk through the history, inspiration and cultural relevances of five of Carl’s paintings.
Our job was to capture the story and the beauty of each painting for all their viewers.
Every one of Carl’s paintings tells a specific story.
Client
The Tweed Museum of Art is a Duluth based museum located at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The Tweed has a global collection of over ten thousand objects covering eight centuries.
At the time of this project, the museum was featuring a gallery of the local artist Carl Gawboy.
Requirements
When we were first contacted by the Tweed, we were informed they were looking specifically for a documentary of the Carl Gawboy exhibition which would include a professor’s presentation, exhibition visuals, and audio from the curator.
Their main focus was to give an overview of Carl’s life work by focusing on five of his paintings. The filming was done during the pandemic so the documentary evolved to a virtual gallery talk with Artist Carl Gawboy and Professor Rain Newcomb.
Solution
Our recommendation to the Tweed was a 15-20 min. video following Carl and Rain as they talked about five of Carl’s paintings much like if a visitor would had come in for a tour of Carl’s gallery.
We included closed captioning and ASL interpretation so that their video would be accessible to all of their visitors.
The Tweed also opted for three Social Media shorts to promote the virtual gallery talk on their website and Facebook page.
