Abstract

Museums might be regarded as a growth industry, but museums large and small are facing the need for more sophisticated shows subject to strict budgetary control. In the process, designs of individual exhibitions have to be matched closely with the ideas of the subject experts, the museum curators. Margaret Hall's experience as Head of Design at the British Museum has convinced her that interpretation and design are twin facets of a single process. In the introduction to this book she considers the history, philosophy and strategy of exhibition design for museums but the core of the volume is a grammar of exhibition design for use by the museum professional and all those engaged in mounting cultural display sand exhibitions. It offers a topic by topic examination of over thirty types of material that might need to be exhibited - ranging from armor and jewelry to paintings and sculpture. A mixture of narrative, tabular and checklist information, diagrams and illustrations presents the salient facts about each type of display - principles, materials, lighting, labeling, conservation considerations, practical advice, what to avoid, etc. In his Foreword to this reference manual, Sir David Wilson, Director of the British Museum, observes that the author's experience of more than twenty years' work in the museum world is distilled in this book which will become essential reading for all who work in museums - whether they be curators, designers or administrators.

Abstract

Today, exhibitions have to compete in an increasingly sophisticated leisure market. Consequently, the way in which the contemporary exhibition is designed is changing fast; previously aloof cultural institutions are making use of technologies and techniques more commonly associated with film and retail. Exhibition-making is now synonymous with image-making, communication, and the creation of a powerful experience. Exhibition Design features examples of a wide variety of exhibitions from around the world, from major trade and commerce fairs to well-known fine-art institutions and small-scale artist-designed displays. The introduction gives an historical perspective on the development of exhibitions and museums, with particular focus on the developments of the twentieth century. The book is divided into two parts: Approaches and Techniques. Approaches is devoted to the conceptual themes of narrative space, performative space, and simulated experience. Techniques covers the practical concerns of display, lighting, color, sound, and graphics. To illustrate these themes the book features photographs, drawings, and diagrams of exhibitions from around the world, including the work of such internationally renowned architects and designers as Ralph Appelbaum Associates, Atelier Bruckner, Casson Mann, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Imagination, METStudio, and Jean Nouvel.

Abstract

Conceptual Art in a Curatorial Perspective: Between Dematerialization and Documentation focuses on the curatorial practice of exhibiting conceptual art. The fact that conceptual works are not object-based, creates challenges in exhibiting or re-exhibiting them. This book offers various perspectives on how to handle conceptual art in the context of the museum, based on three detailed case studies and an extensive introduction in which the paradox of conceptual art is analyzed. It also elaborates on the history of exhibiting conceptual artworks, and on the influence of curators in their canonization.The aim of the book is not to offer clear-cut practical solutions, but to raise awareness of the issue and the different ways of dealing with it within the traditional curatorial field. It is relevant for students of art and culture (particularly in museum and curatorial studies), art and museum professionals, and everyone interested in the art of the 1960s and 1970s.

Abstract

Despite our economic climate, the level of sophistication and ambition has increased visibly in store window, kiosk, showroom, gallery and museum displays across the globe. By using cheap materials in unexpected ways (e.g. origami cubes, grass installations, undulating fiberglass walls, or gargantuan ribbon displays), designers are figuring out ways to display merchandise in an eye-catching yet cost-effective manner. Whether you're working with only 130 square feet or 1,000 square feet, this volume will show retailers, vendors, and curators how to fill their exhibition spaces with dynamic, sustainable, and budget-friendly design.
