You can use the resources of two genres to express your own impressions of the exhibition. In reviews, you can focus on evaluating the works of art that you saw. The report gives the opportunity to create the impression of a "live" picture in the text.
Instruction manual
1
Write your review in the review genre. It is designed to evaluate works of art. In the introduction, tell the reader where the exhibition is and what it is about. Briefly present the concept of the event in the form in which the curators themselves formulated it - they usually voice such information at the time of opening or post it as an announcement on the museum or gallery website.
2
Relate the official concept to what you saw at the exhibition with your own eyes. You can move from general to particular and first describe the impression that you received from all the works in general. And only after that to speculate, due to which such an impression has developed. Or use the induction method. Dwell in detail on all significant work. If this is important in this case, tell us about the creator of each object, its creative evolution, favorite techniques. Give an assessment of each work, arguing for it. And then make a conclusion: whether the organizers managed to realize the stated idea, whether the ordinary visitor was able to catch and feel it. Briefly outline your impressions of the exhibition in the final text.

If you want to make the text more dynamic, lively, use the form and reporting techniques. The essence of your story will not change in this case - you will have to analyze all the same aspects of the exhibition. But the formation of your impression should occur “in front of the reader”. To do this, you need to describe everything that happens in real time and in the first person. Of course, you should not focus on the insignificant details of your campaign, but it is important to maintain the illusion of the continuous movement of time. Include live pictures to illustrate the mood of that evening. Add “overheard” interesting visitor cues. Add ratings from curators and regular viewers. This will make your conclusions more understandable and logical for readers.
