Reseach into Exhibitions

I have found a book in the library titled When Space Meets Art. It is a book about spatial, structural and graphic design for event and exhibition.

This first exhibition space is in the Churchill Museum. Its dedicated to the complete life and times of Churchill. It comprises 700 separate items of graphic design which include 20 interactive digital exhibits and films. I really like this space because of the lighting used. I like low light in exhibition spaces because everything seems so much more contrasted and visually interesting when a light source is then placed onto it. I also love the idea that is seen here of having plastic with a light behind it illuminating information like a light box. I think this is a great idea and makes information look so much more visually interesting. I also like the colours used in this low lit room. They consist of blues, reds and greens ,but they have been carefully selected so a to compliment the low lighting, the colours are just tints. 

Above is another interesting exhibition in cellebration of the national debut of the Pergeot 307cc. Tokujin Yoshioka designed a space where led lights express the wind. The connection between the led lighting and the car is the the Peugeot 307cc was the first model to use LED in the rear lights. The netting that the LED lights are attached to wrap around the surface of the space and contain 100 000 led lights. This is such an original concept. I imagine that this space is stunning in low lighting. I definitely want my exhibition space to use a low level of light. 

Above is a rather interesting exhibition space which looks at the future of global design. The simple type on the walls is very effective. Obviously  the most crucial visual elements of this exhibition space are the strong vivid orange wall colour and the reflected spherical objects that have been carefully placed to reflect the bold numbers. Its a great way of making information more visually attractive and interesting. 

Above is another great example of using low lighting in an exhibition space. The space occupies a 200 meter ribbon of images that show the development of the show room. Again, this shows the power of imagery when the light levels are low and a light source is placed underneath it. It makes information glow. 

This is a really interesting and fun exhibition space. It is designed by Motorfinger. It highlights the universal themes of Hendrik Ibsen's work,. The cubes are made of aluminium rack with printed canvas wrapped around them. Three different types of canvas have been used-see through, semi see through and opaque. I love this concept. I think it makes the information so much more dynamic and visually interesting. The low light and these imposing square blocks that are lit from the inside must make a dramatic image. 

All of this research has given me inspiration to redesign my exhibition space. I love the idea of low lighting and shining light sources behind surfaces to make information glow, so this is my starting point.
