>my 2 bits: >relevance to individual = time spent I found this to be extremely true. We just installed a "historical" exhibition of the work of well-known area artists the Art Center has worked with since 1934. The exhibition has lots of text--more than we usually include and certainly way beyond my own installation preferences--but since most of our audience lived through the period and personally knew the artists, they read every single word avidly. Time spent reading labels--10 minutes per 100-word intro text, 2-3 minutes per 30-word object label. Julia Moore Indianapolis Art Center
