Who are you showing your work to and why? • Define the audience and the space
Locating an Exhibition Space • Internet or visit your local library and do some homework • Newspapers: gallery listings • Online Gallery Listings • School spaces • Client spaces, board rooms, dining table
Exhibition space • Chose a place that is thematically appropriate for the outcome • A modern space with laminated flooring and white or pale, un-patterned walls will go with just about any exhibit; however, if your exhibit has an industrial, outdoorsy, dark, romantic, or sterile atmosphere, a comfortable modern setting might not give it the right context. • Pay attention to available lighting. Large windows can be good, and track lighting can be especially useful in illuminating the work.
Set up the exhibition space • Imagine how a visitor will interact with the room - a visual flow • consider physically directing people through the space to make them participants as well as viewers • Which piece will they see first? • What direction are the likely to move in? • Are there any “dead” areas? • Would hampered movement perhaps be more appropriate to the theme of the exhibit? • Will they be sitting down? • How do I transport my outcome?
Preparing the work • Show only the best design outcomes that reflect a cohesive series • Prepare and present so that the work is accessible for ease of viewing in consideration of your audience and chosen space • Demonstrate a refined conceptual engagement, aesthetic sensibility and technical craftsmanship
