Final Decisions

Part Four – Presentation and Outcome 

Final Decisions 

It may be a helpful exercise to attend a major exhibition and a smaller one to note the presentation styles. Write a reflective commentary on your experiences of these exhibitions. How do they differ? How does the presentation suit the work? Does it enhance or detract from it? 

I have visited several galleries. The larger galleries tend to display large images. They also tend to be spaced out with lots of room to move around and appreciate the work. I get the feeling that the larger exhibitions are very commercialised and to me, you can see it and feel it when walking around. The smaller exhibition I went to, had a more homely feel. The images were smaller, but you could get closer and really appreciate the work. I did find that the artists in smaller ones were around and would talk to you, which was a great experience. Smaller exhibitions seem to me, to be more personal. I prefer the smaller exhibitions personally.
