- 1When Exhibitions Become Formats, What Happens to Art?▼when exhibitions become formats, what happens to the experience of art?
Designboom examines a growing trend in the art world: museums and galleries increasingly treating exhibitions as repeatable formats — travelling shows, immersive productions, Instagram-ready installations — rather than singular curatorial events. The piece asks what this standardisation does to the experience of art itself, questioning whether visitors encounter works on their own terms or through a packaged, templated encounter designed for circulation and shareability.
