WEEK 3<\/strong>
\n\t\tTOPIC: EXHIBITION AND DISPLAY TECNIQUES
\n<\/strong>An\u00a0art\u00a0exhibition\u00a0is traditionally the space in which\u00a0art objects\u00a0(in the most general sense) meet an\u00a0audience. 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\u00a0American 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”.
\nSuch expositions may present\u00a0pictures,\u00a0drawings,\u00a0video,\u00a0sound,\u00a0installation,\u00a0performance,\u00a0interactive art,\u00a0new media art\u00a0or\u00a0sculptures\u00a0by individual artists, groups of artists or collections of a specific form of art.
\nThe art works may be presented in\u00a0museums, art halls, art clubs or private\u00a0art galleries, or at some place the principal business of which is not the display or sale of art, such as a\u00a0coffeehouse. 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.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

TYPES OF EXHIBITIONSThere are different kinds of art exhibitions, in particular there is a distinction between commercial and non-commercial exhibitions. A commercial\u00a0exhibition\u00a0or\u00a0trade fair\u00a0is often referred to as an\u00a0art fair\u00a0that shows the work of artists or art dealers where participants generally have to pay a fee. A\u00a0vanity gallery\u00a0is 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.\u00a0Retrospectives\u00a0look back over the work of a single artist; other common types are\u00a0individual expositions or “solo shows”, group expositions (collective exhibitions or “group shows”), or expositions on a specific theme or topic (“survey shows”). The\u00a0Biennale\u00a0is a large exhibition held every two years, often intending to gather together the best of international art; there are now many of these.

\n\u00a0Exhibitions of new or recent art can be juried, invitational, or open.

    A\u00a0juried\u00a0exhibition, such as the\u00a0Royal Academy Summer Exhibition\u00a0in London, the Chianciano Biennale at the\u00a0Chianciano Museum of Art, or the\u00a0Iowa 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.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    In an invitational exhibition, such as the\u00a0Whitney Biennial, the organizer of the show asks certain artists to supply artworks and exhibits them.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    An open or “non-juried” exhibition, such as the\u00a0Kyoto Triennial,
    \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/sup>\u00a0allows anybody to enter artworks and shows them all. A type of exhibition that is usually non-juried is a\u00a0mail art\u00a0exhibition.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    DISPLAY METHODS
    \n<\/h3>\n

    There are two kinds of objects displayed at the library and archival exhibition \u2013 bound materials and unbound materials. Bound materials include\u00a0books\u00a0and\u00a0pamphlets, and unbound materials include\u00a0manuscripts, 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.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0Unbound materials
    \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n
      Unbound materials, usually single-sheet items, need to be attached securely to the mounts, unless matted or encapsulated. Metal fasteners, pins, screws, and thumbtacks should not come in direct contact with any exhibit items. Instead,\u00a0photo corners,\u00a0polyethylene, or\u00a0polyester\u00a0film straps may hold the object to the support. Objects may also be encapsulated in polyester film, though old and untreated acidic papers should be professionally\u00a0deacidified\u00a0before encapsulation.\u00a0Avoid potential slippage during encapsulation \u2013 when possible, use ultrasonic or heat seals. For objects that need to be hung (and that may require more protection than lightweight polyester film), matting would be an effective alternative.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Objects in frames should be separated from harmful materials through\u00a0matting,\u00a0glazing, 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.
      \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/sup>Frames should be well-sealed and hung securely, allowing a space for air circulation between the frame and the wall.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Bound materials
      \n<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      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\u00a0binding\u00a0allows. Common practice is to open volumes at an angle no greater than 135\u00b0.\u00a0There are some types of equipment that help support volumes as they displayed openly: blocks or wedges, which hold a book cover to reduce stain at the book hinge; cradles, which support bound volumes as they lay open without stress to the binding structure; and polyester film strips, which help to secure open leaves. Text block supports are best used in conjunction with book cradles where the text block is greater than 1\/2\u00a0inch, or where the text block noticeably sags.\u00a0Regardless of its method of support, however, it is worth noting that any book that is kept open for long periods can cause damage. One should turn an exhibited book’s pages every few days in order to protect pages from overexposure to light and spread any strain on the binding structure.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      SECURITY
      \n<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n
        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.
        \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/sup>Whenever possible, the exhibition area should be patrolled; a 24-hour security presence is recommended when precious treasures are exhibited.
        \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/sup>Finally, the exhibition is best protected when equipped with\u00a0intruder alarms, which can be fitted at entry points to the building and internal areas.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
