Friends, do you usually like to see exhibitions?
Do you think the fare is a bit tricky?
Recently, an artist in Shanghai
complained about the ticket price being too expensive.
Recently, Ding Yi, a famous contemporary artist in Shanghai, complained at a forum that the tickets for the Shanghai Art Exhibition were too expensive for him. He said that since colleagues in the art world often come to Shanghai to see him, as a "landlord", he often takes his colleagues to nearby art museums to see the latest exhibitions, but a ticket often costs two to three hundred yuan, and he still pays for it. There are always several people, and he is embarrassed to always say hello to the curator for such a trivial matter, so he can only share it half-jokingly as an interesting anecdote on the forum.
Ding Yi’s sharing resonated with exhibition fans.
According to statistics, there will be more than 1,000 art exhibitions in Shanghai in 2023, especially paid art exhibitions. There is also a "blowout" trend. Although many art lovers have full schedules and enjoy it, the price of tickets is always an issue.
Some exhibition enthusiasts complained about a solo exhibition of international artists at an art center in Xuhui Binjiang, which only had 10 works. Not only were there few works, but there was no layout. They simply listed the works, but the ticket price was 50 yuan.
Some enthusiasts complained unceremoniously: "He could obviously grab it directly, but he held an exhibition for me to see." "The 'threshold' for art is a bit high..."
There are also rational exhibition fans who said
is not consumption. I can't afford it
but I don't need it
Free exhibitions are everywhere
I can't even see them
Exhibitions that cost more than 100 yuan
No matter how good-looking they are, they will weigh them.
However, there are also understanding viewers who think that
exhibitions cost a lot of money.
The exhibition itself is a waste of money.
The public never pays attention to these things when visiting exhibitions.
There are also viewers who touch the works
and damage the works
Exhibitors can only screen through tickets
Cost, ticket price, audience affordability
Triangular wrestling
In fact, for commercial art For exhibitions, organizers are always balancing costs, ticket prices and audience affordability. If ticket prices and audience affordability are difficult to increase in the short term, organizers will have no choice but to "control costs."
A senior museum person once said, "Although there are many exhibitions at present, they often include famous artists but no masterpieces." There are even more and more light and shadow exhibitions and concept exhibitions on the market with the names of world-class artists. Digital exhibitions that lack the real charm of the original work make people feel even more bored.
Fortunately, more art galleries and museums
have begun to face up to the problem of ticket prices
They are striving to reflect a certain degree of public welfare in commercial art exhibitions
Shanghai Museum "From Botticelli to Van Gogh" Special Exhibition Taking the affordable route, the price of 100 yuan (and various discounts) made it crowded every day during the 98-day exhibition period. This pricing reflects a certain public welfare and also sets a tone for the previously somewhat chaotic commercial art exhibition ticket prices in Shanghai. The special exhibition "Dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci" held in Shanghai at the end of the year also followed this price system.
Pudong Art Museum is currently cooperating with four exhibitions, and its single ticket price for one person is also 100 yuan on weekdays. Nowadays, night show tickets are also launched. Night show tickets on weekdays are 80 yuan. Audiences who enter after 17:00 can watch at 21:00. Each exhibition only costs 20 yuan on average. The night view outside the Pudong Art Museum has always been a popular spot for internet celebrities to check in. On relevant platforms, many netizens who have experienced it personally recommended this "exhibition package".
The Long Museum of Art insists that the first Tuesday of every month is a free opening day (except for special exhibitions and holidays). Every time, you can see long lines of visitors waiting for free admission, which fully demonstrates the public welfare nature of the museum. How important it is for audiences in this city.
