The skin of art spaces

Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto has exposed the art viscera inside the Hayward gallery, London. I won’t digress much talking about the playful exhibition, other than to say that it’s fun, but not the best I’ve seen there. What I will comment on, too insignificant for the media to notice, is that they’ve used an alternative way to present exhibition information (different to little white cards stuck to the wall). In the A5 guide given with each ticket, you can find clean infographics with arrows pointing to relevant piece of text to learn about each sculpture. Fellow wanderers of art spaces, you, like me, have often struggled to find the right information accompanying each work. The simple solution (where signs cannot be places on the artworks themselves), is to use visuals. Well done Hayward!
