Practice question · Put in order
Arrange these stages of bringing a work to an audience in order.
- The work is made

- It reaches people who never saw it in the space
- It is installed in a particular space
- Its installation requirements are specified
Hints
- Specification precedes installation.
- Most of the audience arrives at the last stage.
Show the answer
- The work is made
- Its installation requirements are specified
- It is installed in a particular space
- It is documented, from planned positions
- It reaches people who never saw it in the space
Why
The last stage carries more people than every other stage combined, for almost any work, which is why the fourth is a decision within the practice. Most of a work's audience meets it through the documentation, and that audience never had the option of standing in the room.
