Gallery Questions/ Vanessa German Exhibit

Functional Considerations

Traffic flow has been thought about with the Vanessa German exhibit. You can walk around almost all of the works and they almost lead you throughout the space.

The exhibition seems for the most part pretty durable. There are some things on her sculptures that are fragile, but they seem to be put together well. The pedestals that the sculptures are on are sturdy. 

The reading heights of the labels are in good spots. They are all located on the same spots on all of the pedestals. The only dangerous aspect of the exhibit could be that the largest one of the sculptures in the back of the gallery has a little bit of overhang (the pedestal is a little bit too small). 

Disabled people could experience this event with some ease. There is enough room for someone with a wheel chair to be able to navigate through the gallery easily as well as the labels are not too high up.The labels are easily readable. They don't have any sort of strange or difficult type to read. 

Formal Consideration

The choice of the font was good. It was simple enough that it did not distract from the artwork. 

There was a visual unity with this exhibit because all of her artwork seemed to flow together very well. Nothing seemed to be out of place.

Conceptual considerations

The overall message of this exhibit is to me... Through her artwork, Vanessa German wants the viewer to see things in a new light, to appreciate items and to really things about those items and the different meanings they can have.

I feel that the exhibition has a more of a fluid sequence. All of the pieces are powerful and I feel that you could start at any point if the show and still understand her work. 

Visitor Observations

I think that visitors under the age of 25 would enjoy findings all of the different items that they can recognize in her sculptures. The over 25 crowd would enjoy the same thing, however I think they would also enjoy the symbolism in all the those items, creating a larger picture.

Visitors can share their experience with others by talking to other people in the gallery or by spreading their experience with family, friends, or colleagues.
