Making the choice workable
Read for meaning first. Select a highlighted word if you want a closer look.
Approved photographs were displayed in lieu of the oversized sculptures, giving the smaller exhibition room a way to represent work that could not fit. Accurate credit was paramount to the organizer, who checked that each photograph named the contributor and described the substitution honestly. A prudential decision to leave part of the schedule unassigned allowed the volunteers to handle unexpected adjustments without rushing every conversation. The team treated these arrangements as practical responses to the chosen room's limits.
The photographs remained in lieu of the physical sculptures, rather than being described as additional works alongside objects that were not actually present. Accurate credit stayed paramount when the team shortened the labels to fit the available boards. The prudential gap in the schedule proved useful when one contributor asked to replace an unclear photograph before visitors arrived. The organizer could make that change without pretending the exhibition was identical to the original plan or allowing the whole timetable to unravel.
