Context of Practice - Publication Research - Exhibition Labels

Initial research into the labels that support the exhibited works of art






These exhibition labels are all quite plain and simply laid out and don't really attract the attention of the viewer, yet they are something people tend to read in art galleries and museums anyway. I also think the way in which the information is presented on such a small label brings a personal element to displaying the information despite the fact that they are stuck to a wall. The viewer gets up close to read the information, forming more of a personal connection with the information. Also, as the viewer has to come closer to the labels to read them, they are openly displaying to other people in the gallery space that they are taking an interest in reading the content and descriptions, therefore showing them to be more educated than those who dont read the labels.
