Pop-up exhibition

A pop-up exhibition is a temporary art event, less formal than a gallery or museum but more formal than private artistic showing of work. The idea began in 2007 in New York City where space for exhibiting artistic work is very limited.[1] Although the idea originated from New York City, pop-up exhibitions occur all around the world. A recent example is Banksy's Dismaland, which ran from August to September 2015.[2]

Pop-up exhibitions usually allow for a more immersive experience for the visitor. Unlike most traditional museums, some pop-up exhibitions encourage the viewer to interact with the artwork. With this interaction, the exhibition allows for a “public curation,” where the artwork is sometimes dependent on the user interaction. Many pop-ups are also intended to open up conversation and discussion about relevant social issues. [3]

Another possible benefit of pop-up exhibitions is the idea of a short-term art show. This allows for more exposure for new up-and-coming artists. It is also intended to appeal to a younger audience, and the constant change can provide a new stream of revenue. [4]
