Writing about art
You need copy that aligns words with visuals, uses culturally relevant language or taps into the visual references of your international audience. Art should speak for itself. Yet some background information or explanatory texts can be useful. Certainly if you want to reach and inform your public. Art has a strong emotional power and striking those chords may require and different set of references in English.
Excellent texts for:
- exhibitions
- lectures
- guided tours and scripts
- research
- conferences
- press releases
- artist texts & websites
