Focus on the curatorial aspects of an exhibition as well as the works on display
Whenever you visit an art exhibition it is important that you are inquisitive and observant. You should not limit yourself to just looking at the art on display, although this is obviously a great place to start in terms of forming your own opinions of any given show.
You must also assess the curatorial aspects of the show. Do the works chosen reflect the purpose of the exhibition? Do the rationale and the text accompanying each section of the exhibition do justice to the works on display and the overall argument?
If you think about these questions then you will be in a better position to understand where the curators are coming from in presenting you with this particular collection of works and not a different collection. Investigating this can be incredibly useful and it can help you to get more out of the show.
