Dreams are rampant in our cultures, whether or not people believe they are prophecies or simply things we see when we go to sleep. Either way, the mind is fascinating enough to be portrayed through these selected pieces, especially since they are all connected because the artists who have made them most likely shared the same experiences as we do as dreamers and creators. Even if some pieces are not from any particular dreams per se, they still envision someone's personal dream of becoming an artist through physical work and the life they have added onto these pieces curated for this exhibition.

Ideally, this would be nearby a large lake. There are potential ones around the Thornton area, but if it came to it, it could also be next to a lake nearby the mountainside area instead. I plan to have this museum slightly isolated with trees and greenery around it so that the environment wouldn't be disturbed too much if it had to be a completely new construction piece.

Luis Jiménez - “Blue Mustang” - Cast-fiberglass

Luis Jiménez - “Blue Mustang” - Cast-fiberglass

# data[].attributes.body
Reason: This piece is not only a personal favorite but also one that suited the grand theme of the place since being in the same room as this beast sometimes gives people a dreamlike (or possibly nightmarish) experience due to the extravagant nature of "his" story and form.

The myth follows a variation of a tale that states how this statue has been "cursed" because of the various misfortunes that fell upon the people constructing it. Whether it is true or not, "Blucifer" is a horse that has red glowing eyes and can possibly be seen in your wildest dreams if you are fortunate (or even, unfortunate) enough.

Setting: Present in the biggest room possible in the center, standing tall and surrounded by the other tunnels that lead to more rooms when going up either a staircase or an elevator. The lighting will be either spotlight, or the natural light shone by the various windows and sunroof all over the room.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
There may be an option for a spiral staircase to different floors, or even wrapping around "Blucifer" itself.

*The staircase also may have platforms/bridges leading to different rooms as people ascend/descend the pathway. Elevators also can be used since there may be different floors as well.

Studio Ghibli (Hayao Miyazaki) - “Howl’s Moving Castle” - Film

# data[].attributes.body
Reason: Howl's Moving Castle is a delight for viewers of all ages, and especially since the nature of this movie is colorful and complex in its animation as all Studio Ghibli feature films are. The plot involves fantastical details that reality simply cannot offer, and it especially can put someone in a daydreamer's perspective similar to the main character's lover's personality.

Plus, one of the most famous scenes comes from the part where the main characters float in midair, which already reflects some peoples' dreams of them flying above something or another.

Setting: Part of the piece will play on a projector outside of the exhibit to give people a sneak peek of what it is about, examples being the GIFs shown to the left.
The full film will be shown in a movie theater-like room, where people can relax to watch the movie itself or simply have a break from walking around/if one were to need a quiet place from overstimulation. It may not be completely quiet, but there will probably be areas near this location as a "break room" in a way, similar to the Denver Art Museum's "self-spaces."

SPECIAL CURATOR'S NOTES: HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE EDITION

# data[].attributes.body
A stunning work of animation, a complex work of many artists in one single project, and a story that was based upon a previous one that had received enough attention to have a full-length feature film adapted from it eventually. This movie is something that needs to be watched, not just because of personal opinion, but genuinely because it is a work that goes into such fascinating detail that it may leave one to even doubt if this was real at all. It takes severe talent to create something like this, but this project is real. And it not only portrays a singular frame of art but several at a time that constantly retains the viewer's attention during the whole period that it plays. Every single principle of design and elements are dragged here and there to convey this beautiful story, especially with items such as symmetry, texture, uniform visuals, and etc. This work is more than worth sharing because it left me breathless by the time I was even a fraction of the way through the movie. I was extremely impressed through my first watch and I still would love to watch it again and again because of the inspiration it drags out of me as both an artist and a watcher. Studio Ghibli in general has had a wonderful reputation with their animations, and this alone is one of the various movies they have produced that have wowed audiences all throughout the globe. If it doesn't impress someone whatsoever throughout the entire film, then that's when I'd be personally concerned in this case. That's how much potential I believe this movie has with every step of its career.

Reason: Most people have had dreams where they return to a place that is an open space, despite if they've actually been there or not. Either way, even if that is not quite true to some, this piece when I first saw it not only impressed me but also hit my mind with a sense that seemed extremely familiar, despite as I mentioned before, never have been to in my past. My own being crawls with the urge to go to this location, if not having a desire to dream about this place depicted since it seems wonderful to be in personally.

Setting: This may be in a room with other paintings that encompass a realistic portrait of nature while also filling someone with a possible sense of a nostalgia that possibly never existed in the first place. Even if no other paintings are displayed, it will mainly be in a room where there could be projectors simulating the night sky in the dark room, with the exception of low lights illuminating this particular piece.

Reason: Encompassing two of my favorite color variations, they capture peoples' eyes since they seem to be meant to be. It's already enough that these two seem to have a story intertwined together, and that's what makes some of our best dreams; to have a story with another character and knowing that it was a great one if you are able to capture at least one visual from that particular dream.

Setting: These two have to be paired up at all times, and there is no way around this rule really. They will have an exhibit in a bright red room with partially teal patterns/decoration to accent with the pieces. It will be as bright and as standing out as the paintings themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason: Even the tiniest details of our minds can cause a whirlwind of events to spiral out of control, hence why we have a term called the "butterfly effect" in our society. Plus, this piece was made with very few strokes to portray a butterfly's wings well, a delicate but detailed inkwork that can also describe certain thoughts as well.

Setting: This will be in another room that is considered more serene than the others, being mainly of mute colors and also places to relax as audio can be heard of whale noises/raindrops.

Reason: Sometimes, some of our dreams and thoughts need a sense of calmness in order to stop a storm from brewing. This can be considered as one of the more "less intense" works, also encompassing a beautiful portrait of a scene that most can visualize in front of their very eyes.

Setting: Similar to the background of this Padlet, there may be an aquatic theme paired with visuals of both fish and wave sounds to express the calmness of the human mind. It is different than the Butterflies room since this room isn't exactly one made specifically to relax in but to represent forceful relaxation and the environment around a person.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason: We work in so many diverse settings, working together with the most random aspects to put together something entirely new. Plus, it can be exciting to see a piece that works with various media that include ones that don't show up as often as others.

Setting: In a room of chaos, lots of clutter, and maybe even a room that looks like the one the subjects are sitting in, this piece will be in a setting that will be monotone in furniture but colorful in decoration.

Irving Norman - “My World and Yours (And the Gods Created the World In Their Own Image)” - Oil on canvas

# data[].attributes.body
Reason: Magnificent in size, detail, and subject, this definitely portrays a lot about the complexity of thought and how some perceive the world in various ways such as this visual. Dreams also sometimes tend to feel like this painting, cluttered and beautiful and extremely clustered as most of them are.

Setting: The room would be dimly dark and may fit the muted tones of this piece, possibly being the tallest room (besides the one housing the mustang statue) since this portrait is extremely tall in comparison to the rest.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason: The impeccable detail that went into this piece is definitely spectacular, but what mainly dragged this out more than other paintings during curation was the stretched-out skull right in the middle of the piece. It seems to be completely out of place, but the reason for it to be formatted as such includes the fact that this painter wanted it to stand out even as it is diagonal.

It is not exactly a new idea to play with perspective when making creations, but certainly, this artist was one of the more notable ones since this depiction was one of the more famous forms of playing around with this concept.

Setting: This could easily be near the stairway or surrounded by other portraits that paint perspective within it, especially since when it is viewed a certain way, the skull is actually within usual proportions if one were to look at it correctly.

Another variation of the stairs includes greenery with the piece next to/on top of said greenery.

I want the museum to be as accessible as possible while also keeping in mind how much it would disturb nature when it is constructed. The architecture would be similar to the image presented next to this, give or take a few features. It would be nearby a water source because it personally brings me and a lot of people tranquility, while also being in a scenic view rather than the busy crowd that the Denver Art Museum has. It will have plenty of windows while also having spaces where people of all sorts of functions can travel, whether it be by foot, wheelchair, injury, or otherwise. Not only that! But there hopefully will be options for braille, audiobooks, translators, descriptors, and even a suggestion box for any minorities that want even more possibilities for communication within the facility. Plus, I just want this place to be as interactive as possible, which I will go into more detail as we move along this tour.

> QR code would be available in various corners of the museum, giving an option to scan it to lead to here (or a variation of this Padlet) so that less paper would be wasted.

> No tablet, phone, etc.? They would be available to borrow via "museum library" to borrow for the trip.

> Other options include audiobooks of narrations, printed curated brochures if the demand is high enough, and other options people can request via request box.

> Brochure variation not shown in this presentation due to the format of this Padlet already representing the same information shown on a regular guide.

Trivia: This code pattern was inspired by the paintings by Duke Beardsley! As shown by the red and teal color pallet.
