EXHIBTION REVIEW

Confused about what to write for your exhibition review….

Start with your notes:

What was your over-all impression of the space?

How were the works arranged?

Where there any wall texts or other ‘framing’ devices – a catalogue essay, an artist book?

What struck you the most? What were you drawn to and why?

What would you do differently if you were curating this exhibition?

Write a detailed visual analysis of one work, or a comparative analysis of two works.

You can also: research the artist: who are they, what were their motivations, methods and aims? Look in the library and online.
