In this study, I will be applying Art historian Wolfgang Kemp’s theory of the aesthetics of reception as described in the article The Work of Art and Its Beholder: The Methodology of the Aesthetic of Reception (1998) to the Jon Rafman solo exhibition at Zabludowicz Collection in London (2015). A close study has been carried out on a selection of exhibition objects, as well as the exhibition space, to investigate how they address and interact with the beholder. An examination of Rafman’s art practice will also be disclosed. Throughout the study I will answer the following questions; How are the influences that inspired the exhibition, presented in the exhibition?, How do Jon Rafman’s installations at Zabludowicz Collection engage the beholder? And, how can the composition of the exhibition space be described?
