i) Performance and Exhibition Spaces
Performance and exhibition venues provide cultural infrastructure for audiences and
enable spectatorship. These venues tend to have a cultural mandate (though that may
not necessarily be their primary rationale) and are usually equipped with
purpose-built facilities or equipment in order to facilitate cultural activities and events.
These spaces can be subdivided into two main types of venue, namely performing art
venues for different art forms and exhibition venues for visual art and artefacts.
