O'Doherty

Dali Advertisement at The High

O'Doherty's piece on gallery space reminded me on a comment that was mentioned a while ago in our class. The comment was about how the way a museum chooses to set up a show can really make a huge different in the way the art in that show is seen. By simply using a different color wall or a different arrangement of the painting or sculptures the feel of an exhibit completely changes. I chose two different advertisements for the Dali exhibit to show this. The first being the advertisement for the Dali exhibit at the High. It is very simply and lets the picture convey the message. There really isn't much too it. But on the other hand I chose the advertisement from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and they chose to integrate the advertisement in with their famous steps. Different museums will always set up their shows slightly off from one another and each time a person goes to see that show at a new museum it will be a new experience.
