Museum goers today look beyond didactic and toward relational museum experiences, they look to participate in the production of an exhibition's meaning. look develops immersive museum experiences that invigorate visitors' thinking by looking.look
look Detailing Concepts
With every exhibition we provide an experience of a museum’s holdings by presenting carefully researched installations. Developing a concept through the details of its installation we engage new visitors with strategies specific to the institution. Using our architectural expertise we make drawings for fabricators, oversee a bid process, and review contractors' work. We can also write wall text, website, promotional, and catalogue content, and design and edit publications.
look International / Local
Our experience with the display of art from outside the United States and Europe, where we are based, ranges widely within Asia, Oceania, and Africa.We begin by researching the exhibition in collaboration with the institution's experts. Accordingly, we work with curatorial staff to understand the vision for the exhibition that they are putting forward. With their concept in mind, specific installation strategies are developed through archival research and consultation with communities.
look Creating Resources
Our budgets are set by the museums we work for and we have managed budgets ranging from $10,000 to $3,000,000. Imaginative thinking is often best put forward simply and without the kinds of distractions that increase a project’s costs. Where required resources exceed available funds, the partners can draw on their successful history in grant writing and assist museums with their proposals.
look Impeccable Installations
During the installation period, we coordinate with museum staff to ensure efficient, safe, and organized implementation of the work. Even in the final moments of an exhibition's preparation critical decisions need to be made and we are on site to troubleshoot and make sure the exhibition comes together impeccably for the opening.
