organization of gallery space:
how lit, where is the art displayed, how many works, how each of the work is displayed, what written material is there on the wall and in the gallery?
and how did you feel like when u walk into an art gallery?

The last gallery i was in sold bronze statues. The gallery had recently been remodeled and it was all open spaces. There were twenty seven pieces in the gallery. Ranging in price from 2,500$ to 45,000$. The atmosphere was relaxed and I felt comfortable there. It was a sunny day and natural light permeated the room through the many display windows. Some pieces were on there own pedestals others were so large they didn't require a pedestal. All writing was on small cards, out of the way, and done by hand.

Back in the day I lived and worked in Hamilton , Ontario. I'd make an escape from my service/sales calls almost every day and nip into the Art Gallery of Hamilton. What a wonderful place! Huge rooms and lots of light; I have so many fond memories of that place but my favourite thing was the instant you walked into the main gallery you were greeted by this giant Gershon Iskowitz
(80X132 inches) that just blew me away. I never tired of looking at it and hated to tear myself away from it to move on.

Last gallery I was in, displayed Russian art paintings. Each painting well lit, lots of space, detailed description of each work. It was a nice one, but too posh, I prefer more street style or industrial or cyber-punk or ethno ones.

the last gallery i went into was showcasing myself and 2 other artist. from the sidewalk you looked up 3 steps through a set of double doors directly at my 4'x8' portrait of james brown. as you walked through through the doors a desk on the left held the guestbook and information on the show. srtaight ahead there was a long hallway with paintings and collages hung on both sides. these were lit from overhead indirect light. behind the desk there's a doorway leading to the first of three rooms. the three of us decided to intermix our work. our styles are very different as well as the mediums we chose to work with. my work is done mostly with soft pastels, spray paint, and acryllics on wood and fabric and are mostly of people. some famous some not. i had a porch hanging in a large picture window as well as jewelry trees on pedistals scattered around the room. one artist is just starting her career and most of her work is simple emotive painting on canvas board and political collages. the last artist has a surreal bent which he manifested in oil, sculpture, and comics. in the first two rooms the lights were on 2 tracks that contained about 10 lights each and could be positioned in a 180 degree hemispere. in the third room our lesser pieses shared space with the catterers and their tables. from you could go left out the back door which contained a smoking area with tables covered in movie posters, or right back down the hallway to the front desk. all the rooms wer strewn with seating groups and tables.
under each painting was a placecard with the name and price of the painting on it all containing the same font
i felt as if i was about step onto a stage.

Oh for crying out loud. Just go to the art gallery and write your essay. It'll take one day and then you can get on with your life. Plus (GASP) it might actually be fun.
Go get em, tiger!!
