Online Exhibition review

Guidelines:
A critical review should not simply rehash the contents of the exhibition. Rather, it is an
opportunity to evaluate the argument or thesis of an exhibition and how well the
exhibition makes its case.
You are encouraged to search for reviews of your chosen exhibition both in print and
online media in order to consider the opinions of other critics, but your own voice and
opinions should emerge clearly in your review.
Citations for this exercise must conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th or
16th edition.
Your review must include 1. The name of the institution, the title of the exhibition, the name of the curator(s),
and any other information salient to the production and presentation of the
exhibition as a whole.
2. A description of the works of art that comprise the exhibition and an account of
their layout within the exhibition space.
3. An analysis of the thesis or central argument of the exhibition. What contribution
did the curator(s) hope the exhibition would make? Does the exhibition offer a new
interpretation of the objects or materials displayed?
4. An analysis of the challenges faced by the curator(s) or institution in the creation
and realization of the exhibition. Do you think this was a difficult project to realize?
What sort of choices or risks might have been involved, and what contingent
factors (budget, time, loan expenses, etc.) might have affected the outcome of the
exhibition?
5. Your evaluation of the exhibition as a whole. Does the exhibition achieve its stated
objectives? What questions or issues does it leave unresolved? This is not
necessarily a matter of “yes” or “no.” You may conclude that the exhibition was
more successful in some respects than others.
