A Note on i-cabin's Exhibition Text Policy
June 2007

 

It has always been i-cabin's policy not to provide copies of exhibition texts at it's shows.
Instead it has been our preference to make ourselves present for direct and open discourse.
In addition to this we have always encouraged our artists to make available their personal
email addresses to any viewer who may wish to make further enquiries which we cannot
satisfy, which they have all been very happy to do. In some cases it has not been possible
for us to be present during all the opening hours of the show, in these cases we have always
welcomed emails with requests for further contextual or practical information or with
discursive commentary wherever our stand-ins have not been adequately briefed to fulfill
the role. In certain situations exhibition texts of the formal type have been compiled which
have been kept by us to be sent out in response to emailed enquiries or for those situations
when visitors are disinclined, for any reason, to talk on the spot. Althought exhibition texts
carry out an important function in being a memento of the show we have preferred to offer
some other type of paper document in substitution.
