Quote:
"which" refers to the closest noun ("touch rule") and implies that "work" is the one who makes a change. The meaning is not sensical; it is rather an action of the guests changes the way it will be perceived by the next viewer
Quote:
- meaning is not clear to me.
Quote:
- "it" might refer to "the Perpetual Motion Project" or "work"; any of antecedent does not make sense; it is the action of guests changes the artwork for subsequent viewers, so the use of it distorts the meaning.
Quote:
- concise and clear; correct
Quote:
- incorrect for the same reason as A

A) work, which thereby changes -> which can modify only noun work which doesn't change the way art will be perceived but the manipulation, hence Incorrect
B) work, accordingly a change to -> accordingly seems to be modifying the preceding clause which is what we require to express the meaning of the sentence - Correct
C) work, and it will change -> it implies each work - Incorrect
D) work and thereby change -> and is a parallel marker, illogically implying PMP invites guest to (manipulate work and thereby change) - Incorrect
E) work which, as a consequence, changes -> work does change the way art will be perceived - Incorrect
Meaning :-
Most Art exhibitions require the viewer to appreciate the works in their current form
