Exhibition

Overview

An exhibition record documents a public showing of the artwork — a gallery exhibition, museum display, art fair, or any other public presentation. These records contribute to the artwork's documented history and help establish its cultural significance and market visibility.

Exhibition entries are part of the public record. They appear on the front card and are visible to anyone the card is shared with.


Fields

FieldWhat it represents
ExhibitorThe name of the gallery, museum, institution, or organizer that hosted the showing
LocationThe city or country where the exhibition took place
PlaceThe specific venue name (building or hall)
DateThe opening date of the exhibition
Date toThe closing date of the exhibition (optional — leave blank for ongoing or single-day events)

Business Rules

  1. Any user who can view a card can add a new exhibition entry to it.

  2. Each exhibition entry carries an editability flag. An entry is editable only by the user who created it. Entries added by a previous owner are visible but cannot be modified.

  3. The editability of an entry is determined by whether the current card owner is also the card's original creator. If the current owner is not the creator, entries from the creator (or prior owners) are read-only.

  4. The date range from opening date to closing date represents the full run of the exhibition. If the closing date is not provided, the exhibition is treated as open-ended or a point-in-time event.

  5. Exhibition history always travels with a card when it is transferred. See Transfer.

  6. On accepted transfer, all exhibition entries are copied to the recipient's version of the card.


Constraints

  • An entry's fields cannot be edited by anyone other than the entry's author.
  • There is no limit on the number of exhibition entries a card can have.
