Assignment 2B

1. MoLAA stands for Museum of Latin American Art
2. The first video clip introduces the viewer to MoLAA, telling us about its history, vision for the future and the enlightening work it is now accomplishing.
The second video gives us a brief tour of the museum, highlighting some of the exhibits and the various works on display. Some of the photos are blurry and others are shown so quickly that you need to pause to get a good look at all of them.
The third video was un-viewable. It looks like the user who originally shared it had taken it down.
3. The first video introducing us to MoLAA taught us: 1. The Museum is 6 years old (as of 2007) and located in Long Beach, CA. It is not your typical uptight museum but rather one that invites the viewer to enjoy themselves and really dive into the various exhibits on display. 2. The founder, Robert Gumbiner decided now was the time to bestow America with a museum of contemporary Latin arts; especially America had never been introduced to such a concept. 3. The goal of the museum is not just to display art, but rather to educate the viewer about the history of the Latin culture and experience.
The second video was a slide show set to music that displayed various exhibits. The viewer got to see art in various forms and compositions including sculptures, paintings, drawings and photography. So of it was traditional, other compositions were quite modern in style. One item I did notice is that of the names that were displayed, they seemed to be male dominated. I know that there are many female artist who are worthy of display but for some reason, it seemed to be an unbalanced ratio.
The third clip again was not functioning.

5. From reading the MoLAA website, I learned that there are Over 900 works of art from various compositions that represent 340 Latin American artists from 20 countries within the four Spanish-Portuguese speaking Latin America countries in the regions of Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. We also learn that MoLAA is the only museum in the western United States that exclusively features contemporary Latin American art.
