“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”-Albert Einstein. This chapter talked about the actual steps you need to do in order to have or be in an exhibition. Like three months before, ten weeks before, what to do at the reception, ect. “A one person show looks better on a resume, but a group show will attract more people.” These are the kind of situations that we might have to deal with in the near future. You have to start by where you want your work to be shown, how you want it to be shown, what kind of people do you think will be more interested in your work. Deciding when you want to have taken place. How are you going to reach out? See if you can put an add in the paper about where your having your exhibition. Or it talks about the steps you need to do to have it pressed released. The cost? It varies depending on if you do it yourself or have it send off to be printed. Each one has pros and con.
The whole point is to get people to come to see your work! Then there is framing. This is one of the biggest things because you want you art to be displayed tastefully and look the way you want it. The main thing is you never want your frame to take away from the actual art. When it comes to actually hanging the art, you need to have everything already to be hung. When the big night comes come early and leave at the end. Be friendly; try to talk to as many people as possible, after all they did come to see what you worked so hard on.
great.
