Number 4

The use of exhibition space to create meaning can change all the time, it is all based on the location of where you view the piece. Like if you decide to show it in the local park, it could be because you wanted to show it to the general public or it was based around them.
A short while ago, we visited the TATE gallery to view some pieces by artists. Each film was shown in different locations in the gallery and each had their own meaning to the work. An example of this would be PSI girls by Susan Hiller. Her work involved five different screens. Each screen had a different film, one of the films being Matilda. Her work showed a good example of this because if you were to see this somewhere else you wouldn't really be interested in it.
