Task 1- Non-Western Artist- Yinka Shonibare

Yinka Shonibare had an exhibition in Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The galleries were held in 3 of the indoor spaces as well as having one exhibit outside. The exhibits included sculptures, paintings, collages, film and photography works.
The purpose of the galleries was to demonstrate multi cultural art to the public. His works also try to abolish things like race and class, as he is a Nigerian artist which he feels is rare. He likes to express his individualism and identity in his work as well as multiculturalism, global food production and revolution, through playful pieces.
There content of the exhibitions was large, there was a whole mix of many different forms of art. There were sculptures like 'Alien Man on Flying Machine' to still films like 'Addio del Passato' as Yinka Shonibare likes to express himself and his views among many varieties and pieces of art.
The Target audience was all visitors to the park as there were exhibitions that all different races, sexes and ages could relate too.
The style of the exhibitions was mostly traditional and modern African culture however there was also western cultured themed exhibitions as well. However the African theme was most prominent.
The location of the event was Yorkshire Sculpture Park, in 4 different spaces within the park, with 3 indoor exhibitions and one outdoor. The location was very suitable as there is lots of space available both indoor and outdoor so the pieces that were not able to go outside had their own indoor space.
The park is accessible for wheelchair users and also has a licensed gift shop so that there will be no affecting legal implications for them to deal with.
The park has trained staff in first aid and there are always risk assessments before every exhibition to minimise the risk of accidents.    


The exhibit was good as there was a great number of interesting, multicultural pieces in the event, which I enjoyed browsing, however the outdoor exhibits meant that if it rained, there was little chance of going to see them, and some pieces were a long way from each other, in fair weather however, the exhibition would have had few negatives.
