Lets take a look at some shows...

Task 1 

International Make-up Artist Trade Show (IMATS)

 

http://www.imats.net/

"Education and versatility are key to a career in make-up artistry, and IMATS London provides that in abundance. Established in 2002, this show gives you the tools you need to grow  as an artist in theatre, film, TV, fashion and editorial. Classes often range from age-make-up applications and red-carpet glamour to body painting and beards. Looking to stock your kit? Top exhibitors will be on hand for all your needs."

This is a tricky one as it seems to fall in both categories as it is an exhibition with many stalls where businesses and artists display their work/ promote themselves/ sell product handing out flyers business cards etc. but also it  also has a live show element as there are several stages on which artists demonstrate their wok on models on stage  

large images or work shown with live models and even stage recreations or even stage makes of new pieces

The United Make-up Artists Expo (UMAE)

http://www.umae.co.uk/

" At United Make Artist expo (UMAE) it is our ethos to support the industry, by generating a platform for the professional and aspiring makeup artist from around the world, within a family networking atmosphere.  Alongside education seminars, expert demonstrations and one-to-one interaction with the icons of the TV, Film and Beauty industry, we provide opportunities to meet and liaise with the best in the business. Our guest speakers don't just speak on stage, they mingle and chat with the attendees on show floor throughout both days."

is also a similar style to IMATS though it is on a smaller scale and is more exhibition based with small seminars rather than live shows on stage. There are stands where brands and artists display sell and advertise themselves/products or their businesses again, handing out flyers business cards etc.

Damien Hirst

Tate Modern: Exhibition

This exhibition is perhaps the most bizarre experience of my life It brought together twenty years of Hirst's work. It features an array of different things sharks in formaldehyde medicine cabinets and paintings made of sports. Only in a Damien Hirst exhibition could you be appreciating a room of butterflies flying around you only to move on to be facing a glass case which within it is a decapitated  rotting cow's head surrounded by flies.

With such a collection of random pieces it is hard to explain how these are exhibited and how the correlate to each other. despite being a parts of different collections the exhibition flows considerably well due to its clean smart simplistic display. the rooms walls remain white throughout and the pieces have vast amount of space between them in order to allow you to focus on each piece individually.

The exhibition features work such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living 1991, In and Out of Love and Pharmacy 1992
