Art Gallery/Exhibition Premieres?

There's certain films that don't go through a festival circuit or a theatre release but rather are shown at Art Galleries or art exhibitions. For example. Christian Marclay's "the clock" was screened at the The Polygon Gallery in north vancouver last year

For releases would it be more appropriate to list the museum or art gallery/exhibition's name as an attribute (the same way festivals are attributed)? or would the city it was exhibited in be better?

Hi Harrison Clark -

It's acceptable to mention the Exhibition in the attribute field, for example:

Exhibition at Cinemateca Brasileira
Exhibition "Yanomami, l'esprit de la forêt"
Exhibition Screening

Cheers!

so in the case of the clock it would be (Exhibition at The Polygon Gallery)?

Hi, can I please add to this with a further query?

I'm having four of my own short pieces exhibited exclusively at a gallery event / exhibition next week here in Central London's Soho area (UK), does the event itself need to be registered / recognised by IMDb in order for each piece's listing to be cleared through and then appear?

Cheers!

An event doesn't need to be recognized in advance to add a release date. You can just add the event name/description in the attribute field.

Ah!  Thank you for confirming that, for some reason I was thinking it had to exist on the database or be accredited in some way.
