Artists often use exhibition space to create meaning, for example, in Brighton there was an exhibit in a darkened church. I don't know if anyone else feels the way I do about darkened churches, however, the exhibited work was, I thought, quite creepy and the surroundings supported this thought.
The exhibit would have had a completely different feel if it were in, lets say, a brightly lit building. It would likely also have a completely different meaning to the one it had in the church.
It is often not the artwork that creates meaning for a piece, but rather the surroundings it is exhibited in.
