How to organise an exhibition, the process and the types

First and foremost, we have to distinguish between Permanent and Temporary exhibitions. Temporary exhibitions can be solo and group ones. They are more precisely defined according to the location, type and purpose.
For instance a solo, one man show in an exhibition pavillion or in an art fair/show on the purpose to sell the works would be typical for Damien Hirst, but in contrast a musum located exhibition of the great Chinque Chento artists should serve an educational purpose.
Within this given frame for exhibitions we were to categorize the presentations of our groupmates, so that we described the purpose of the artist/artists they talked about and the different conditions they had set up or made their exhibition to be set.
In the second part of the lession we puzzled together how an exhibition should be organised and what tasks are to be completed, in a form of a Work Breakdown Structure on the white board.

The Lumu Video Art Exhibition - Keleten a helyzet

After having visited this impressive and thought triggering exhibition, I'm really wondering how people from not the ex-eastern block countries would feel after their visit, because the thing is that it has surfaced for me some still existing and not solved issues about national identity, belonging, power-relations, supression and the current special situation of the mid-Eastern Region of Europe, where we live in.
This area has always been a home to extremely wide range of folks, nations and various ethnic groups, with the influence of the western culture and periodically a supression of foreign powers.
To examine and have a clear overview about all the impacts in relation to ruling powers and national identities this exhibitions should be useful and fitting all kind of people in the world, not only the members of the mid-Eastern Eu. region.

As for the installation techniques, I confidently can assert that with the short guided tour I gained all the information I needed to the works and they did not disturb enjoying eachother, which would be mostly the case in loud video installations close to eachother.

week 1 Intorduction

As in many subjects, neither was it in an other way in this case, we began with the general introduction of eachother to the group and to the teacher, we have determined the main milestones-assessments of the semester and made up a success criteria to this semester.
Personally I could say that exhibiting and publishing works to the public is an extremely important moment in the gallery world, how you represent your works determine their future to some extent.
E.g. when a good work of art is placed badly, unaesthetically its value also may drops down to the level of B category paintings next to it, or to the place of B category paintings when it is placed at the wrong part of the gallery.
On the other hand, I also could say that systematically an exhibition should trigger and make the visitor to enjoy and become a part of the exhibition not an isolated beholder, less it was our intention.
All in all, I'm looking forward for the challenges of this semester and for the success of it.
