Context

I have learnt that the term context means the effect or meaning of something, also it can mean the situation, for example the gallery space has a very big effect on the context because a traditional gallery such as the Graves, which is an old gallery with older ideas such as the traditional gold and elaborate frames and simple colours, this would be out of context if an item form the site gallery would be placed in there as it would look out of place, being so modern. So the context has a very big impact on the way you place your work and also where you place it.
 To carry on from this, I believe that the Millenium gallery is a very modern gallery and wouldn't look right with pictures from the Graves gallery in it as they woul look too traditional and not at all in place, however the Millenium gallery has some exhibitions that are for the older items, such as the mini version of a cinima showing very old films. I believe that this has a very big effect on the audiance as the more older people would probably like to see the more traditional portraits and scenes, whereas, the more young moudern people would prefer to go to the site or the Millenium as it is a lot more up to date.
