The exhibition is on the 6th floor of where?
The target audience is too vague. Who likes this kind of art?
On the sketches, draw the shape of the sculpture you are thinking of featuring so we can see how it interacts with the type. On the back of the postcard, leave the right side blank for addressing.

On the first ‘Congestion’, I appreciate all the work that went into composing it. You should drop the outlines for a more abstract effect.
The black outline gets lost on some of them. If you are using the square as a mask, after masking you can select it and give it a stroke for a clean border.

The empty outlines, white on white, would disappear into the background. The gray shapes should lose their black outlines, then yo would see how some merge together.

A few points to make the project more focused:
Your exhibition title should include your name as you are the artist being exhibited.
The date range should be longer than one day.
The target audience should be more specific–who is likely to look at/buy your art? Is it graffiti, classic, punk? Is it commercial or fine art?

Certainly typefaces have gotten more readable, and legible, since then, isn’t it amazing though that Blackletter is still popular for some applications.
