Exhibitons and Audiences Visual Analysis


In the photo is an 'Outdoor Wear' exhibition in Liverpool. It consists of different coats presented on mannequins on tiered stages along with some information to the side of them. There is also cabinets in the middle of the room which hold the more precious/rare/expensive garments. Overall I find this exhibition pretty dull. The way the coats are set out means you cant see them up close and it doesn't seem to have much of a structure to it, for example, its difficult to see where something begins and ends, or whether the set up of different coats on different stages relate to one another. The graphics on the wall, which appear to be a small attempt to make the exhibition more visually stimulating tell you nothing more than what you already see, but state 'Outdoor Wear' multiple times along with illustrations of coats. There is no interactivity with the viewer apart from a small amount of information presumably about each coat for them to read, and there is a large space with nothing occupying it. Personally, I dont think fashion should ever be presented in this 'art gallery' manner.
