A worthwhile exercise to look into existing promotion for exhibitions in terms of formats and the kinds of features they all contain, to kind of know the rules so I can create something which kind of breaks them and is fresh and new.I'm leaning towards TATE Modern, in London as it has the right balance of art and design in terms of Print, Tate Britain seems to have more sculpture and Fine Art.
