Abstract

This evaluation relates to the “...publication as a site” and contemporary art exhibitions for artists held on website and portfolios. I will discuss the concept development in the project within my role, through to the management of artists and the publication of design. This will also give consideration to “site-specific” curatorial practice theory and obtain comments from artists and audience. Moreover, the commissioning process is the significant considerable elements.
