Minimalism Gallery

Has anyone, Caedes and the Moderators, ever considered starting a Minimalism Gallery ? I just ask because I feel a lot of artists like this kind of spare looking Art. I happen to be one of them actually. It could include both abstracts and photography, or it could possibly be broken up into 2 sub-catagorys, one each in Abstract and Photography.

What does everyone think ? If we had such a gallery, would anyone consider making Art to put into it ?

Yes I think that would be a nice gallery indeed and I would certainly do work for it but for a new gallery to be created there must be at least two dozen suitable pieces already in the permanent collection under different categories.

Besides the fact that the answer is probably " Because that's the way the site is set up, Lauren you dolt" ... why do the necessary images have to already be part of the permanent galleries ? So, if a new catagory was set up, it would already have images to cull from ?

Indeed. Typically, galleries are created when a particular subject matter starts accruing a lot of content within another category - such as windmills within architecture, mushrooms within plants etc that then warrants a section all of its very own. It may already be the case that there are enough images already for your suggestion. the best way to move it forward would be to trawl through, and post lists of links to the images you think qualify here to bring it to Piner or Caedes attention.

hmm - id be tempted to leave Foncee in order to keep the competition galleries complete - but I would certainly do something in that style for a minimalistic gallery. DJ's excellent Bryce workings would be an ideal candidate though.....

I know what you're saying, by it's very definition I think, it's pretty hard to come up with a minimalistic photograph

shameless plugs are all good :-) I think a lot of your recent stuff would be ideal as minimalist studies and you're probably not too far off the mark with the spoon fed analogy.

Personally I prefer the way photographs and CGI are currently kept seperate. If this were ever followed through I think we should have two galleries, "Computer-> Minimalist" and "Photography-> Minimalist" (or minimalism, whatever).

So we have to come up with at least 24 viable options huh ?

And, if any of this happens, would the artist be notified ahead of time of the change in their gallery ?

Artists aren't notified, all we would be doing is recategorizing. PS I realize now that we would probably have to add "Abstract -> Minimalism" to that list too... I'm not sure how it would work for fractals as they are currently under "Abstract -> Fractal" and you can't currently have a third tier (ie you can't have "Abstract -> Fractal -> Minimalism") The only thing I could think of is to make a new base gallery fro fractals and then have "Fractals -> Minimalism" as an offshoot of that, although I think it would be very difficult to draw any distinct line between what is a normal fractal and what is a minimalist fractal. I'd probably prefer to see it restricted to 3D computer images and photographs.

I don't understand ... Why can't we have Abstracts > Fractal > Minimalism ? Would it mean too much redesigning of the upload process ?

If you look at my vastly underappreciated flame called Astral Highway.
, LOL...I think it's a fairly good example of Fractal Minimalism.

As I said, currently you can't have three tiers of galleries on the site, two is the most you can have. In order to have three tiers of galleries some reprogramming would be required.

I guess you would have to introduce the defined galleries as and when sufficient images were available. I wouldn’t foresee a problem with a single gallery but it would have to be quite selective as to what was promoted to it in order to keep a balance and level of quality that could definitively be categorised as minimalist.

THe problem I have with placing everything (CGI, fractals, photos etc) into a single minimalist gallery is that it would actually make it more difficult for people to find what they are looking for, when it should be the other way around. Having the galleries split into the distinct categories that we have now makes it much more likely that people will be able to find what they are looking for.

I would Noah, but anything you upload now won't count. As Phil said, these images have to already be a part of an existing perm gallery.
And they need at least 24 images before they'll even think about it. So right now I'm going through the galleries & trying to cull images I think could work in a Minimalism Gallery.

Like these .... The Interrogation. ... Embrace.
