Valerie Steele, an internationally recognized fashion historian and author, makes her debut as curator with the exhibition, which explores why fashion changes, and places clothing trends within their social and cultural contexts.

-	'''Gothic: Dark Glamour '''September 25, 2008-February 1, 2009: Gothic is an epithet with a strange history, evoking images of death, destruction, and decay. It is not just a word that describes something (such as a Gothic cathedral); it is almost inevitably a term of abuse, implying that something is gloomy, barbarous, and macabre. Ironically, its negative connotations have made it, in some respects, ideal as a symbol of rebellion. Hence its significance for youth subcultures. Today the words "goth" and "gothic" are popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and mascara'd rock musicians. But the gothic has many layers of meaning.	+	====Gothic: Dark Glamour====

By examining the past two centuries of fashion’s good—and bad—environmental and ethical practices, Eco-Fashion: Going Green provided historical context for today’s eco-fashion movement. Presented chronologically and featuring more than 100 garments, accessories, and textiles, the exhibition used contemporary methods for "going green" as a framework to study the past.

-	'''His and Hers''' November 30, 2010-May 10, 2011: His & Hers explored the relationship between gender and fashion over 250 years. Clothing can act as an immediate signifier of gender – however, while making distinctions between “masculine” and “feminine” styles of clothing may seem natural, gendering is not a biological phenomenon. The exhibition discussed the changing ideas of "appropriate" attire for each gender; it also included examples of so-called unisex and androgynous fashion. More than 100 garments, accessories, and textiles from the Museum's permanent collection were featured chronologically, from a seemingly "feminine" 18th-century man's velvet suit to a woman's "power suit" from the 1980s.	+	====His and Hers====

Her work of the early 1980s was prominently featured in edgy magazines such as i-D, and her following was comprised mainly of street-style insiders. By 1985, her more structured, feminine, and historically-inspired styles began to attract the attention of the mainstream press and widened Westwood’s audience.	+	====Vivienne Westwood, 1980-89====

-	'''Youthquake! The 1960s Fashion Revolution''' March 6-April 7, 2012: Youthquake! The 1960s Fashion Revolution explored the dramatic impact of youth culture on fashion during the 1960s. More than thirty garments, accessories, videos, and other related media were featured, including fashions by Yves Saint Laurent, André Courrèges, and Giorgio di Sant’Angelo. The epicenter of youth-generated style was London, where young shoppers flocked to boutiques opened by energetic, equally young designers. Regardless of which youth group was redefining fashion at the moment—the early 1960s Mods or the Hippies later in the decade—its styles were quickly appropriated by mass marketers and couturiers alike. By comparing designs ranging from cutting-edge boutique and mass-market labels to high fashion ready-to-wear and couture, the exhibition attested to the ascendance of youth as the driving force in fashion.	+	====Youthquake!

-	'''Daphne Guinness''' September 16, 2011-January 7, 2012: The exhibition Daphne Guinness featured approximately 100 garments and accessories from Guinness' personal collection. There have been many exhibitions about individual fashion designers, but surprisingly few on fashion icons. Yet in order for a look to become fashionable, to move off the runway and into real life, it has to be worn by individuals of great personal style. Daphne Guinness is the very image of rarified personal style. She is fearless about wearing the most extreme fashion, and has been an inspiration to many designers, but she is no mere clothes horse. A serious collector of couture, she is also a creative force in her own right. This individualism, often described as eccentricity, is at the heart of Daphne’s appeal. Equally important is her respect for the art of fashion. She has famously said: "We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty."	+	====Daphne Guinness====

Usability, accessibility - Noguchi Museum Project

2012-05-17T20:48:46Z

created page to have page title uniformity within the Noguchi Museum Project

New page

The [[Noguchi Museum]] website address is: www.noguchi.org. This is a nice, short, succinct url for the museum homepage.

'''Testing of www.noguchi.org in various web browsers:'''

'''Chrome''' - could accomplish task of loadinig website, although I do not posses enough working knowledge with Chrome to be able to tell how large or how small in pixels the screen would let me shrink and expand it before horizontal scrolling became necesary. Could also enlarge and shrink text using the Ctrl+ and Ctrl- keystrokes.

'''Firefox''' - slightly longer loading time for the website with Firefox than with Chrome. The webpage did not shrink down automatically with resizing of the browser screen. I could also easily manipulate the font size (concurrent with the entire webpage size so the ratio remained constant for images and text) using the Ctrl+ and Ctrl- buttons.

'''Windows Internet Explorer''' - Much like Firefox and Chrome, the website loaded with no issues aside from the fact that horizontal scrolling (and a bit of vertical as well) were needed as I was using a smaller sized browser window size. Again, text and images both enlarged and shrank with use of the aforementioned Ctrl+ and Ctrl- buttons.

'''Lynx''' - working with the Lynx browser illuminated many of the issues and assets of the www.noguchi.org website. For instance, upon entering the homepage url and browsing only one cookie needed to be enabled and the page information loaded quite quickly. The homepage was three pages long in the lynx's small browser window.[[File:Lynx1noguchi.jpg|thumb|left|www.noguchi.org as shown in Lynx - May 16, 2012]] [[File:Lynx2noguchi.jpg|thumb|left|www.noguchi.org, 2nd page, as shown in Lynx browser - May 16, 2012]]The five alternating images which form the main portion of the welcome page for the Noguchi Museum were clearly tagged with alt tag information. Some playing around with the up and down arrows revealed that the first and second links were a link to the same site under two different names - Noguchi Museum and Home. The next available link brought a user to the Museum - and within that I was able to rudementarily browse the collection.

I did try to perform a search for a single object (the same object I created an ehive.com database entry for) that information was retrieved. And I also wanted to see how well the Catalogue Raisone worked with the Lynx browser and found I could log in using my account which I had generated May 15th using the interface with the page on Firefox.

Valerie Steele, an internationally recognized fashion historian and author, makes her debut as curator with the exhibition, which explores why fashion changes, and places clothing trends within their social and cultural contexts.

	'''Gothic: Dark Glamour '''September 25, 2008-February 1, 2009: Gothic is an epithet with a strange history, evoking images of death, destruction, and decay. It is not just a word that describes something (such as a Gothic cathedral); it is almost inevitably a term of abuse, implying that something is gloomy, barbarous, and macabre. Ironically, its negative connotations have made it, in some respects, ideal as a symbol of rebellion. Hence its significance for youth subcultures. Today the words "goth" and "gothic" are popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and mascara'd rock musicians. But the gothic has many layers of meaning.

-	==='''History'''===	+	==='''Formation'''===
	Originally known as the Design Laboratory, The Museum at FIT began presenting exhibitions in the 1970s, utilizing a collection on long-term loan from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Over time, The Museum at FIT acquired its own collection, as well as thousands of textiles and other fashion-related material. In 1993, the Board of Trustees of FIT, noting the significance of the Design Laboratory’s collections and exhibitions, changed the institution's name to The Museum at FIT.&nbsp The Museum’s permanent collection now includes more than 50,000 garments and accessories from the 18th century to the present. Important designers such as Adrian, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Dior are represented. The collecting policy of the Museum focuses on aesthetically and historically significant clothing, accessories, textiles and visual materials, with emphasis on contemporary avant-garde fashion.

	There are three galleries in the Museum. The lower level gallery is devoted to special exhibitions. The Fashion and Textile History Gallery on the main floor features a rotating selection of approximately 200 historically and artistically significant objects from the Museum’s permanent collection. Gallery FIT, also located on the main floor, is dedicated to student and faculty exhibitions. Past exhibitions include: London Fashion, which received the first Richard Martin Award for Excellence in Costume Exhibitions from The Costume Society of America, The Corset: Fashioning the Body, and Gothic: Dark Glamour. Other special exhibitions have included Isabel Toledo: Fashion From the Inside Out, in which the inauguration day ensemble Isabel Toledo designed for Michelle Obama in 2008 was on display, and a look at sustainable fashion with Eco-Fashion: Going Green, an exhibition from 2010 examining the past two centuries of fashion’s good—and bad—environmental and ethical practices. More than 100,000 people visit The Museum at FIT each year, attending exhibitions, lectures, and other events. Admission is free to the public.

		+	==='''Notable Exhibitions'''===
		+
		+	'''50 Years of Fashion '''October 7, 1997-January 10, 1998: Drawn from the Museum's holdings, more than one hundred twenty ensembles for both men and women are displayed in a lively survey of postwar fashion, from haute couture to hot pants, glamour to grunge. Valerie Steele, an internationally recognized fashion historian and author, makes her debut as curator with the exhibition, which explores why fashion changes, and places clothing trends within their social and cultural contexts. By including both artistically and historically significant clothing, the show demonstrates how fashion affects everyone. (Benesh, C. L. (Winter 1997, Vol. 21). 50 years of fashion. Ornament, p17-17, 1p.)
		+
		+	'''Gothic: Dark Glamour '''September 25, 2008-February 1, 2009: Gothic is an epithet with a strange history, evoking images of death, destruction, and decay. It is not just a word that describes something (such as a Gothic cathedral); it is almost inevitably a term of abuse, implying that something is gloomy, barbarous, and macabre. Ironically, its negative connotations have made it, in some respects, ideal as a symbol of rebellion. Hence its significance for youth subcultures. Today the words "goth" and "gothic" are popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and mascara'd rock musicians. But the gothic has many layers of meaning.
		+
		+	'''Muriel King: Artist of Fashion''' March 10, 2009-April 4, 2009: King’s unique sense of pragmatic luxury brought immediate success, and her motto of “cautious daring” made her a favorite among America’s socialites. King’s separates and day-into-evening clothes provided versatility and value. This exhibition focused on the artistry of King’s designs and seeks to define her contribution to the history of American fashion.
		+
		+	'''American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion '''November 6, 2009-April 10, 2010: Fashion designed and made in the United States over the past one-hundred years has attained worldwide influence due in large part to the creation and popularization of sportswear, denim, and mass marketing. Yet, America has also produced artistic and innovative clothing that utilized the craft of dressmaking. American Beauty examined the relationship between the “philosophy of beauty” and the technical craft of dressmaking in the United States.
		+
		+	'''Eco-Fashion: Going Green''' May 26, 2010-November 13, 2010: Eco-Fashion: Going Green explored the evolution of the fashion industry's multifaceted and complex relationship with the environment. By examining the past two centuries of fashion’s good—and bad—environmental and ethical practices, Eco-Fashion: Going Green provided historical context for today’s eco-fashion movement. Presented chronologically and featuring more than 100 garments, accessories, and textiles, the exhibition used contemporary methods for "going green" as a framework to study the past.
		+
		+	'''His and Hers''' November 30, 2010-May 10, 2011: His & Hers explored the relationship between gender and fashion over 250 years. Clothing can act as an immediate signifier of gender – however, while making distinctions between “masculine” and “feminine” styles of clothing may seem natural, gendering is not a biological phenomenon. The exhibition discussed the changing ideas of "appropriate" attire for each gender; it also included examples of so-called unisex and androgynous fashion. More than 100 garments, accessories, and textiles from the Museum's permanent collection were featured chronologically, from a seemingly "feminine" 18th-century man's velvet suit to a woman's "power suit" from the 1980s.
		+
		+	'''Vivienne Westwood, 1980-89''' March 8, 2011-April 2, 2011: Vivienne Westwood, 1980-89 focused exclusively on Westwood’s fashions of the 1980s and highlighted the significant shift in Westwood’s design style during this decade. Her work of the early 1980s was prominently featured in edgy magazines such as i-D, and her following was comprised mainly of street-style insiders. By 1985, her more structured, feminine, and historically-inspired styles began to attract the attention of the mainstream press and widened Westwood’s audience.
		+
		+	'''Youthquake! The 1960s Fashion Revolution''' March 6-April 7, 2012: Youthquake! The 1960s Fashion Revolution explored the dramatic impact of youth culture on fashion during the 1960s. More than thirty garments, accessories, videos, and other related media were featured, including fashions by Yves Saint Laurent, André Courrèges, and Giorgio di Sant’Angelo. The epicenter of youth-generated style was London, where young shoppers flocked to boutiques opened by energetic, equally young designers. Regardless of which youth group was redefining fashion at the moment—the early 1960s Mods or the Hippies later in the decade—its styles were quickly appropriated by mass marketers and couturiers alike. By comparing designs ranging from cutting-edge boutique and mass-market labels to high fashion ready-to-wear and couture, the exhibition attested to the ascendance of youth as the driving force in fashion.
		+
		+	'''Daphne Guinness''' September 16, 2011-January 7, 2012: The exhibition Daphne Guinness featured approximately 100 garments and accessories from Guinness' personal collection. There have been many exhibitions about individual fashion designers, but surprisingly few on fashion icons. Yet in order for a look to become fashionable, to move off the runway and into real life, it has to be worn by individuals of great personal style. Daphne Guinness is the very image of rarified personal style. She is fearless about wearing the most extreme fashion, and has been an inspiration to many designers, but she is no mere clothes horse. A serious collector of couture, she is also a creative force in her own right. This individualism, often described as eccentricity, is at the heart of Daphne’s appeal. Equally important is her respect for the art of fashion. She has famously said: "We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty."

New page

==Editing of a Wikipedia page - The Noguchi Museum Project==
As I was unable to login to the Wikipedia page with a new user name due to the high volume of new identities made from our shared Pratt IP address, Professor Bowen and I decided upon two courses of action - searching for references as well as performing an anonymous edit on the Noguchi Museum Wikipedia entry.

Below is the text which I would like to improve in style and flow:

'''"The Noguchi Museum, chartered as The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, was designed and created by the Japanese-American sculptor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isamu_Noguchi Isamu Noguchi] in 1985 to preserve and display his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptures sculptures], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_model architectural models], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_design stage designs], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing drawings], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furniture_design furniture designs].

New page

[[File:Placeholder|right|300px]]

==Development==

The Internet Archive (wayback.archive.org) began crawling the New Museum site on January 1, 1997.
==1997==

This version is more text-heavy, with a few images on one exhibit, the Adrienne Salinger Photos. The navigation is in the left column, and the tabs are not to Events or Exhibitions, but to Videos, Zines, and CD-ROMS. There is no link to an online store.
==1998==
The site was under construction mid-year, and then in December the site appeared as a list of hyperlinked exhibits. The site linked to the bookstore, but not in an e-commerce capacity.

	The Noguchi Museum website offers little in the way of customization or personalization for the lay user aside from the nearly fully bilingual capabilities of the website. For those who feel more comfotable injesting information in Japanese as opposed to English, the homepage provides a link to Japanese translation which leads you to a slightly different front page than the java script driven English language main site. In addition, within each of the subpages of www.noguchi.org one can choose to read the page content in Japanese as well. The Japanese language link on the far left of the screen which is below the continuously present sidebar with menus and dropdown menus leads you back to the initial Japanese language homepage and not to the same page translated. For example, if you are searching for the history and mission of the museum and would like to read the information in Japanese, you must click the ''Nihongo'' 日本語 button.

		+	The interesting aspect of the nearly billingual site is that not all the information contained in the English language site is conveyed in the Japanese. Most notably, the Education site provides information for school visits in the English version but only for Parent/child visits for children of different ages for the Japanese language site. Presumably this is due to the lack of demand for Japanese language school groups or a high demand of Japanese parents living within New York wanting to enjoy the environment of the Noguchi Museum with their children.

		+	While customization is possible between English and Japanese, the only personalization capability on the Noguchi Museum website is found under the ambitious Catalogue Raisonne section of the site. This is found in the dropdown menu under Research on the side bar and requires a password and email address to login. This function of the website and project is seemingly marked for use by the Noguchi Museum by individuals such as scholars, researchers, librabrians, academics, dealers or collectors. The login page asked me for my field of research but the information found within is faschinating and extremely comprehensive. What an amazing tool! A nearly fully digitized Catalogue Raisonne of one of the 20th century's greatest artistic minds!

		+	Within the Catalogue Raisonne, one can create bookmarks (although this was tricky until I found the brief but helpful hints for use which are included below in this section). In particular it is difficult to figure out which level of specificity was considered detailed enough to include as a bookmark in my personal account. Finally, upon searching for a specific object (the same ''Globular ''as mentioned before) the object page was produced with the handy "Bookmark +" button located in the top right hand of the page. I had found a detailed page as noted in the hints for use.

		+	'''See RMA page created here within Museums wiki. Herewith copy of some of my notes from there:'''

		+	'''{Preliminary thoughts about additional info to add to Wikipedia entry--JE}''': Say something more specific about standing exhibits of material from permanent collection. Mention notable exhibits with dates. Mention regular programming (Friday evening film series).
		+
		+
		+	'''{Maybe use some info from the following}''' "Experts speak of the breadth and quality of their collection..." "This after a fashion led him to an art mastered in remote Himalayan monasteries, in which every royal blue and brilliant red earthen hue held meaning and message for initiates ("Himalaya" is the Sanskrit word for House of Ice and Snow). Tantric Buddhism acknowledges, even embraces, the darkest depths of the human psyche. There's no point in ignoring the obvious. So their art is filled with ferocious-looking demons, many-armed blue creatures with vast teeth, the better to devour our own demons of ego and jealousy and anger, and safeguard dharma, or the teachings of the Buddha.
		+
		+	The museum deals quite directly with the darker side. A visitor to the fourth floor (each floor is shaped like a mandala around that central staircase) finds the Demonic Divine: Himalayan Art and Beyond, which is thick with deities with ashen-white skull faces and mesmerizing eyes. Skeletons dance, demons make love, and often they are our protectors."
		+
		+	(from Wikipedia entry citation: Powell, Michael (October 17, 2004). "In New York, Himalayan Art with a Lofty Mission". The Washington Post.)
		+
		+	"Since the Rubin opened in October 2004, attendance has reached 100,000 visitors a year, many of them regulars..." "For the museum’s original opening, Mr. McHenry and Lisa Schubert, formerly the director of external affairs, also devised “The Flag Project,” a set of outdoor banners by well-known contemporary artists based on the concept of Buddhist prayer flags. The activities Mr. McHenry oversees are now primarily concentrated on Friday nights, when the museum and its exhibitions stay open late. The ground-floor cafe and its fluid seating area are transformed into the K2 Lounge, with a D.J., colored lights, electric votive candles and cocktails named (usually by Mr. McHenry) for the movie screening that evening." (from Wikipedia entry citation McGee, Celia (March 12, 2008).

MFIT Session 4 - Interactions

2012-05-17T18:29:22Z

Added observations

← Older revision		Revision as of 18:29, May 17, 2012
Line 1:		Line 1:
		+	MFIT has no personalization options on their website, but I think that the nature of MFIT really lends itself to that kind of usage.

		+	If they were to add a feature that allows users to sign in for sessions, I think it would be great to allow them to choose items to add to a personal virtual collection. This feature could even have a visual element to it, as if users are actually adding garments to racks, where they can slide them along on hangers to choose any one item. Once they've opened the record for an item, they could add comments that would be visible to other users (to promote community). I think it would also be helpful to have a feature in which users could add comments or reviews of exhibitions.
		+
		+	In my opinion, the goal would be to promote''' more substabtial conversation''', as opposed to the fairly shallow nature of the interactions on facebook and twitter. They seem to be in the perfect position to push their users in that direction. They already have a very solid base of followers; people are definitely interested and willing to participate.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Another way to add depth to the website would be to have interviews or video clips of artists talking about their creative process, which could be linked to individual item records. Textual links would also be beneficial - simply viewing a garment does not constitute an educational experience. Scholarly articles related to topics evidenced in particular garments should be linked to item records.
		+
		+
		+
		+	QR codes on each garment in the museum could facilitate this activity. When the user scans the code, it would bring them to the individual record, where they would participate in conversation, add garments to their personal collection, be directed to similar items, or linked out to related scholarly articles.
