Week 3: Visit to Adams Gallery

For Week 3's class, we visited Adams Art Gallery and got some advise from the curator on how they conceptualised the exhibition, the details/logistics that the usual big galleries deals with and how some of these may be encountered by us students as we set up own exhibition.

We found it interesting to hear and see how an exhibition came about. Details like wall text and catalogue were also quite intriguing in the sense we were able to think about how we didn't like how the catalogue of Adams Art gallery was done. We found it hard to find and read which art work's text belongs to and it got distracting for us.

For our exhibition, we wanted an easy access to information and make the experience more simple.

Before we locked down the space we had a phone call meeting with Denise to discuss what we wanted to do with it as well as set up time for a site visit. We kept in touch mostly through emails.
