Thinking about presenting my works, and "Curate and Critique"

Recently I have been looking at artists who I am considering putting my works in an exhibition with for "Curate andCritique." One aspect that is very difficult to decide on is the space to create this exhibition in and where to locate the space.

After looking at some past exhibitions by these artists, and reading the reviews of these exhibitions I have found that their work is well read in a simple gallery space, which is well lit and open so that the wokrs can bounce off each other and relationships and conversations between works can be formed.
I want to ensure that the space and location of the space that I choose enhance my works and their relationship to the other artists I choose. At thsi moment my gut feeling hints towards keeping it simple, and allowing the works to speak for itself, of its materials and experimental yet meticuously constructed imagery.
