Chapter 4

The use of exhibition space effects the meaning of the work by a great deal. Every piece of work is classed as art but if your work gets placed in a museum or gallery it automatically becomes a valuable masterpiece. Places such as the tate which host work are highly respected and view by millions, this gives the artist some recognition and also gives the piece of work a bigger and deep meaning. People assume pieces of art are in a gallery because they are great pieces and therefore have a great meaning. Once a piece is placed in a gallery people will spend more time thinking about what the meaning is and why it is there.
