Overview
In this unit you will prepare your artwork for display and present it to the public in the form of a professionally realised exhibition. To do this, you will use and adapt established exhibition practices as they might apply to a range of exhibition contexts, whilst recognising the effects that various exhibition venues may have on the reading of your artwork. You will also complete a written exegetical statement which will situate your practice within context specific theory to critically analyse the relationship between your artworks and contemporary culture.
