Has anyone had any experience of, or know of any research done on the use
of controversial or shocking images in exhibitions?
We are considering the use of large, controversial, maybe shocking images
as a hook into exhibitions about contemporary science. There is however the
possibility that the disgust/horror they might invoke could have the
opposite effect, and drive our visitors, especially family audiences away.
I'd welcome any thoughts, comments or direct experience anyone has of this.
Many thanks
