Exhibition and display work is considered the foundation of curatorial communication. The place where the idea, theme or story is given intention through the assembly of exhibits, objects and art.

Between us we have curated or contributed to a huge range of displays and exhibitions for large organisations and occasions, and very small ones with non-existent budgets. There are some things that no matter your budget, time or capacity, you should think about before embarking on an exhibition project.

Have you done your research? Do you have thoughts or information you can organise around your collection? If you are in a museum use your object database and history files but don’t rely exclusively on these for your interpretation. Contextual research can enrich your interpretation with original quotes, such as from oral history recordings, newspapers and archives. Keep a record of all references so you can always return to the source of a piece of information, particularly if you get enquiries. Have you done your picture research and cleared all usage rights where relevant? Keep a record of all copyright holders.

Your selection of exhibits is likely to be the most fun and satisfying part of exhibition and display making. Who is choosing? You the curator or members of a community? What logic is there in the selection? Think about the safety and security of objects you have on loan. If you are borrowing from a museum or a curated private collection there are many protocols in place to guide you through the loan process. If displaying in a pubic place will you need to make provisions to man that space and keep it secure when closed? Are exhibits best displayed as they are or in surrogate form, e.g. is a photograph better enlarged and reproduced (also digitally) so people can enjoy its detail, or can you find a replica or provide access to a 3D model? If you are displaying natural specimens such as taxidermy and insects, or paper and textiles, what are your lighting and temperature conditions like? This is particularly important if you are planning to display sensitive items for more than a short time (say, more than a month). Know your conditions. Read our interview with ArtRatio to understand how to deal with light exposure when you can’t control your display environment. Very importantly for large items, how will you get it through your doors?

There is nothing more dispiriting to a curator than seeing a poorly mounted object. It’s sad. It’s also possible to be overly fussy with mounts when given the right space, an object can be shown off at its best just as it is. Which objects will stand up on their own, which need a mount or some conservation to make sure it will withstand being part of the display without damage? This is, of course, particularly important for museum and high value objects. Be aware of items that can sag or curl, a mount that doesn’t support the whole object will not be effective. Photographs or paintings in glass display cases will not show off the best that item has to offer to the viewer. Avoid displaying small objects on high shelves. Shorter people, children and people in wheelchairs won’t be able to see them, particularly if displayed flat.

Create an object list with all reference numbers or names of lenders where relevant. This is a crucial document and does not need to be complicated, just a list. Do you have enough display case space? Create rough footprints of the objects (including any mounts) and test them out in the showcases before you come to install them. If you don’t have access, use a piece of cardboard out out to your shelf footprint and work from that. When mounting framed works on walls have a spirit level handy but be aware many galleries have wonky floors, ceilings and temporary walls may also not be square. Draw out your wall arrangement before attending to measuring and mounting. Mirror plates are useful to keep framed works secured to a wall, cords are not ideal when displaying in a public space. Bespoke tracks might work for lighter works if you are confident they will be safe and will form a visually arresting display.

I have lost count of the number of exhibition projects I have been involved in that have under-estimated the time to install objects and art. This aspect of project managing a display needs time so if you have estimated 2 days, add one more on, you are likely to need it. Get your object list. When you bring the objects out for installation ensure you have a safe place for them and that you keep a note of any object numbers in their new, temporary location. Are you going to put anything on open display? Is it secure? Is it safe for visitors to walk around? Do you need a cordon that will give the object a buffer but won’t detract from the visitor’s experience? Always try it out before opening to the public. I take photos of each section of objects installed or art mounted on the walls and store them with a document listing the objects.

Whether you are installing a display in a shop window or in a large gallery think about the use of space. Some of this will be dictated to you by the position of temporary walls or display cases, the location of windows and power points. If your display case has in-built lighting, position it very near or on top of a power supply to avoid trailing cables. How will visitors move around your display space? Are you prescribing a route or can they browse? Tip: Most visitors are browsers and will pick up stories and information in the order their eyes draws them and not necessarily in the order you want them to.

Lighting is the most neglected aspect of display and exhibition work even in places with flexible lighting rigs. It is often done as an afterthought or not attended to at all. Poorly organised lighting can diminish a viewer’s enjoyment of your curated objects and stories, especially if the revelation or understanding of your exhibit relies on illumination (e.g. to read something). If you have fixed lighting and limited options for changing positions and angles then plan your display around this constraint. Avoid positioning glazed artworks or display cases that will reflect lots of glare and impair viewing the objects and any interpretation. If you need to maintain darker conditions for light sensitive materials such as paper, photography and textiles, explain that to your visitors and if you have the funds consider using cases with smart glass that significantly reduces light exposure over the period of your exhibition. Poor lighting may be somewhat overcome by repainting a wall or applying a graphic. Have you got a colour scheme in mind? A beautiful colour scheme can help unite your exhibition.

What are your key messages and calls to action? Who do you wish to communicate with most? What kind of labels will you use to tell visitors what they are looking at? Business-like and simple? Stating the obvious, e.g. Drum. 1863. Something more poetic. Writing as if the object speaks. Being the knowledge giver – key facts or revealing something that is hidden or surprising. All forms of interpretation are fair game in display work but maybe you can also be more creative. How else can people appreciate the object? An audio description? Better interpreted as part of a tour or show and tell event? Does your exhibition need words at all? Always consider your target audiences and their needs, the effect you want to create, the memory you want viewers to take with them, when deciding on your style of interpretation.

Many exhibitions are created for dedicated readers, and yet others hardly give you a clue about the stories of people, places and events behind the things on display, except stating the obvious e.g. Drum. 1863. Sometimes that might be the point. Curators of contemporary art shows will rarely take on the role of intrusive interlocutor. You probably will need to buy the catalogue if you want more. If you provide stuff to read, consider providing it in different ways: labels, posters, cards, booklets, laminated sheets, maybe something more creative like messages on a pebble or graphic novel style illustrations to share a story. When providing written interpretation on graphics panels and walls, keep chunks of text short, large enough for an easy read, using a font that is straightforward. Never reproduce text directly over a busy image. I’ve seen some fabulous content ruined by poor design where luscious quotations are hidden in newspaper-column text. Provide your designer with clearly organised content with references to which wall or case to which it is relevant (and if your designer has gone off on one don’t be afraid to tell them and correct it).

Opportunities for feedback and interaction with the topic of your display should be clear and obvious and invite meaningful engagement. Then… don’t forget to actually review this feedback so you can inform your future exhibition work and generate evidence for supporters, sponsors and funders.

An art exhibition is traditionally the space in which art objects (in the most general sense) meet an audience. The exhibit is universally understood to be for some temporary period unless, as is rarely true, it is stated to be a "permanent exhibition". In American English, they may be called "exhibit", "exposition" (the French word) or "show". In UK English, they are always called "exhibitions" or "shows", and an individual item in the show is an "exhibit".

Such expositions may present pictures, drawings, video, sound, installation, performance, interactive art, new media art or sculptures by individual artists, groups of artists or collections of a specific form of art.

The art works may be presented in museums, art halls, art clubs or private art galleries, or at some place the principal business of which is not the display or sale of art, such as a coffeehouse. An important distinction is noted between those exhibits where some or all of the works are for sale, normally in private art galleries, and those where they are not. Sometimes the event is organized on a specific occasion, like a birthday, anniversary or commemoration.

There are different kinds of art exhibitions,exhibition or trade fair is often referred to as an art fair that shows the work of artists or art dealers where participants generally have to pay a fee. A vanity gallery is an exhibition space of works in a gallery that charges the artist for use of the space. Temporary museum exhibitions typically display items from the museum"s own collection on a particular period, theme or topic, supplemented by loans from other collections, mostly those of other museums. They normally include no items for sale; they are distinguished from the museum"s permanent displays, and most large museums set aside a space for temporary exhibitions.

Exhibitions in commercial galleries are often entirely made up of items that are for sale, but may be supplemented by other items that are not. Typically, the visitor has to pay (extra on top of the basic museum entrance cost) to enter a museum exhibition, but not a commercial one in a gallery. Retrospectives look back over the work of a single artist; other common types are individual exhibitions or "solo shows", and group exhibitions or "group shows"). The Biennale is a large exhibition held every two years, often intending to gather together the best of international art; there are now many of these. A travelling exhibition is an exhibition seen at several venues, sometimes across the world.

A juried exhibition, such as the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London, or the Iowa Biennial, has an individual (or group) acting as judge of the submitted artworks, selecting which are to be shown. If prizes are to be awarded, the judge or panel of judges will usually select the prizewinners as well.

"A Slight Attack of Third Dimentia Brought on by Excessive Study of the Much Talked of Cubist Pictures in the International Exhibition at New York," drawn by John French Sloan in April 1913, satirizing the Armory Show.

The art exhibition has played a crucial part in the market for new art since the 18th and 19th centuries. The Paris Salon, open to the public from 1737, rapidly became the key factor in determining the reputation, and so the price, of the French artists of the day. The Royal Academy in London, beginning in 1769, soon established a similar grip on the market, and in both countries artists put great efforts into making pictures that would be a success, often changing the direction of their style to meet popular or critical taste. The British Institution was added to the London scene in 1805, holding two annual exhibitions, one of new British art for sale, and one of loans from the collections of its aristocratic patrons. These exhibitions received lengthy and detailed reviews in the press, which were the main vehicle for the art criticism of the day. Critics as distinguished as Denis Diderot and John Ruskin held their readers attention by sharply divergent reviews of different works, praising some extravagantly and giving others the most savage put-downs they could think of. Many of the works were already sold, but success at these exhibitions was a crucial way for an artist to attract more commissions. Among important early one-off loan exhibitions of older paintings were the Art Treasures Exhibition, Manchester 1857, and the Exhibition of National Portraits in London, at what is now the Victoria and Albert Museum, held in three stages in 1866–68.

As the academic art promoted by the Paris Salon, always more rigid than London, was felt to be stifling French art, alternative exhibitions, now generally known as the Salon des Refusés ("Salon of the Refused") were held, most famously in 1863, when the government allowed them an annex to the main exhibition for a show that included Édouard Manet"s Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur l"herbe) and James McNeill Whistler"s Girl in White. This began a period where exhibitions, often one-off shows, were crucial in exposing the public to new developments in art, and eventually Modern art. Important shows of this type were the Armory Show in New York City in 1913 and the London International Surrealist Exhibition in 1936.

Museums started holding large loan exhibitions of historic art in the late 19th century, as also did the Royal Academy, but the modern "blockbuster" museum exhibition, with long queues and a large illustrated catalogue, is generally agreed to have been introduced by the exhibitions of artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun held in several cities in the 1970s. Many exhibitions, especially in the days before good photographs were available, are important in stimulating research in art history; the exhibition held in Bruges in 1902 (poster illustrated below) had a crucial impact on the study of Early Netherlandish painting.

In 1976, the Felluss Gallery under the direction of Elias Felluss, in Washington DC organized the first American dealer art fair. "The Washington International Art Fair" or "Wash Art" for brevity. This American fair met with fierce opposition by those galleries interested in maintaining distribution channels for European artwork already in place. The Washington fair introduced the European idea of dealer fairs to art dealers throughout the United States. Following the advent of Wash Art, many fairs developed throughout the United States.

Although preservation issues are often disregarded in favor of other priorities during the exhibition process, they should certainly be considered so that possible damage to the collection is minimized or limited. As all objects in the library exhibition are unique and to some extent vulnerable, it is essential that they be displayed with care. Not all materials are able withstand the hardships of display, and therefore each piece needs to be assessed carefully to determine its ability to withstand the rigors of an exhibition. In particular, when exhibited items are archival artifacts or paper-based objects, preservation considerations need be emphasized because damage and change in such materials is cumulative and irreversible.Environmental Conditions for Exhibiting Library and Archival Materials, and the British Library"s Guidance for Exhibiting Library and Archive Materials – have established indispensable criteria to help curtail the deleterious effects of exhibitions on library and archival materials. These criteria may be divided into five main preservation categories: Environmental concerns of the exhibition space; Length of the exhibition; Individual cases; Display methods used on individual objects; and Security.

Light wavelength, intensity, and duration contribute collectively to the rate of material degradation in exhibitions.illumination can be aided by reducing ambient light levels to a level lower than that falling on the exhibit.lux and 100 lux depending on the light sensitivity of objects.inks or pigments being exposed and the duration of the exhibition time. A maximum exhibition length should initially be determined for each exhibited item based on its light sensitivity, anticipated light level, and its cumulative past and projected exhibition exposure.

Light levels need to be measured when the exhibition is prepared. UV light meters will check radiation levels in an exhibit space, and data event loggers help determine visible light levels over an extended period of time. Blue wool standards cards can also be utilized to predict the extent to which materials will be damaged during exhibits.radiation must be eliminated to the extent it is physically possible; it is recommended that light with a wavelength below 400 nm (ultraviolet radiation) be limited to no more than 75 microwatts per lumen at 10 to 100 lux.natural light is undesirable because of its intensity and high UV content. When such exposure is unavoidable, preventative measures must be taken to control UV radiation, including the use of blinds, shades, curtains, UV filtering films, and UV-filtering panels in windows or cases. Artificial light sources are safer options for exhibition. Among these sources, incandescent lamps are most suitable because they emit little or no UV radiation.Fluorescent lamps, common in most institutions, may be used only when they produce a low UV output and when covered with plastic sleeves before exhibition.tungsten-halogen lamps are currently a favorite artificial lighting source, they still give off significant amounts of UV radiation; use these only with special UV filters and dimmers.

The exhibition space"s relative humidity (RH) should be set to a value between 35% and 50%.vellum and parchment materials, which are extremely sensitive to changes in relative humidity and may contract violently and unevenly if displayed in too dry an environment.

One factor that influences how well materials will fare in an exhibition is the length of the show. The longer an item is exposed to harmful environmental conditions, the more likely that it will experience deterioration. Many museums and libraries have permanent exhibitions, and installed exhibitions have the potential to be on the view without any changes for years.

Damage from a long exhibition is usually caused by light. The degree of deterioration is different for each respective object. For paper-based items, the suggested maximum length of time that they should be on display is three months per year, or 42 kilolux hours of light per year – whichever comes first.

An exhibition log report, including records of the length of the exhibition time and the light level of the display, may prevent objects from being exhibited too frequently. Displayed items need to be inspected regularly for evidence of damage or change.

Library or archival materials are usually displayed in display cases or frames. Cases provide a physically and chemically secure environment. Vertical cases are acceptable for small or single-sheet items, and horizontal cases can be used for a variety of objects, including three-dimensional items such as opened or closed books, and flat paper items. All these objects can be arranged simultaneously in one horizontal case under a unified theme.

Materials used for case construction should be chosen carefully because component materials can easily become a significant source of pollutants or harmful fumes for displayed objects. Outgassing from materials used in the construction of the exhibition case and/or fabrics used for lining the case can be destructive. Pollutants may cause visible deterioration, including discoloration of surfaces and corrosion. Examples of evaluative criteria to be used in deeming materials suitable for use in exhibit display could be the potential of contact-transfer of harmful substances, water solubility or dry-transfer of dyes, the dry-texture of paints, pH, and abrasiveness.

There are two kinds of objects displayed at the library and archival exhibition – bound materials and unbound materials. Bound materials include books and pamphlets, and unbound materials include manuscripts, cards, drawings, and other two-dimensional items. The observance of proper display conditions will help minimize any potential physical damage. All items displayed must be adequately supported and secured.

Objects in frames should be separated from harmful materials through matting, glazing, and backing layers. Matting, which consists of two pH-neutral or alkaline boards with a window cut in the top board to enable the object to be seen, can be used to support and enhance the display of single sheet or folded items. Backing layers of archival cardboard should be thick enough to protect objects. Moreover, any protective glazing used should never come in direct contact with objects.

The most common way to display bound materials is closed and lying horizontally. If a volume is shown open, the object should be open only as much as its binding allows. Common practice is to open volumes at an angle no greater than 135°.

Because exhibited items are often of special interest, they demand a high level of security to reduce the risk of loss from theft or vandalism. Exhibition cases should be securely locked. In addition, cases may be glazed with a material that hinders penetration and that when broken does not risk shards of glass falling on the exhibits.intruder alarms, which can be fitted at entry points to the building and internal areas.

Museums and art galleries are stimulating places with many things to look at. Digital displays can attract visitor attention to certain areas and provide additional ways to absorb information.

No matter what discipline you focus on, LED museum screens make your stimulating exhibits even more enticing. Here are some unique ways you may consider using video walls in your museum or gallery.

Most people visit museums and art galleries to learn something new or find inspiration. Whether visitors include adults or school groups, video displays can lead to a memorable learning experience that keeps people coming back.

Exhibits often feature plaques with insightful information about the items or artwork on display. By installing wall-mounted museum screens in exhibits, you can offer people a different medium to engage with. Run an educational video or share a slideshow of historical images that accentuate the display piece.

LED panels are also an incredible opportunity to showcase digital art. Unlike static images, a video screen allows for abstract movement to calm and inspire museum and gallery guests. These two emotions create the perfect mindset for visitors to enjoy the environment.

If you want to create the most memorable guest experience in your facility, then consider investing in the highest quality displays on the market. Neoti’s LED museum screens can be customized to suit your specific needs, and we offer a high-definition picture that will showcase your educational content in the most engaging way.

This was therefore less an exhibition than what my colleague Siddhartha Mitter, reviewing the show in June, adeptly called “a whole vibe.” Vibing was its aim, and its downfall too. Documenta 15, by design, militated against its own viewing — “the viewer is obsolete,” you can read in the catalog — because the real work of the show was not the stuff on the walls but the hanging out around it. In other words, the actual content and form of these Palestinian agitational movies from the 1970s and 1980s mattered less than the new collective group that brought them here, and the other artists who came together to vibe with them. Collectivity was treated as an end in itself: We were here, as ruangrupa exhorted us, to “Make friends, not art!”

Well, that sounds fun. But what if your friends’ art sucks? This “controversial” Documenta was — to speak of what visitors actually saw in Kassel — the safest and most boring of this century, as evidenced by the almost nonexistent discussion around any of the art on view. Beyond the archival propaganda, it was bloated with show-and-tell displays of workshops you were not invited to, jejune videos that would barely merit a pass in an art school degree presentation, and countless posters and banners worthy of a teenager’s bedroom wall (“This Is My Voice, Listen”), or an N.G.O. training seminar (“Our goal is to respect and honor everyone’s humanity in the space like using people’s chosen pronoun”). Yet for a growing faction in the domain of culture, to complain about the pathetically low standard of the art on view is irrelevant at best, oppressive at worst. Artists matter, not art. Sharing is caring. Pass the beer.

It’s all been a dreadful embarrassment, but why should anyone outside Germany be concerned? Because Documenta was always a pacesetter — and this year’s edition certainly put its finger on a larger shift, seen too in our museums, our art schools and our magazines, away from aesthetic ambition and intellectual seriousness and toward the easier comforts of togetherness, advocacy and fun. If your friends’ art sucks, that’s actually no big deal — because being together matters more than doing something well. And if the German press say your friends’ art sucks, that’s OK, too — reassuring, actually, as evidence that this rotten colonizers’ world has no place for us.

If the “museum of 100 days,” as Documenta is known, returns in 2027, it will likely be with a return-to-order edition, more “conservative” or “market-friendly” than this one. I doubt Documenta will command the respect and the pre-eminence it did before this year, though, and it’ll never recover its aim of imagining the whole world in one show. The dream of a global art world has died, and I fear a lot of people, reactionary and radical alike, prefer it that way. The incomprehension and anger this show has elicited are the proof they always wanted that we have no common future.

But the postcolonial world, to quote a man more serious than most participants at Documenta 15, is not “a vulgar state of endless contestations and anomie, chaos and unsustainability.” The postcolonial world is “a world of proximities,” and the job of an exhibition is to make those encounters productive, meaningful, edifying, beautiful. In art, at least at its best, “the tensions that govern all ethical relationships between citizen and subject converge.”
