The design above was presented as a scaled down version of her recent major retrospective at The Wapping Project in London. Most of the elements used in the design are made from recycled materials. The entire stand fits into approx' 1.8M2(cubic) combining a wall-o-bags (from the 30 years archive), mini ally history, film and selected pieces from her new collection. Almost everything was designed to fit into recycled plywood boxes that transform into the stand with an extra display case box and bench seating box (not in drawing above). It was great to work with some new signage for ally as well - deep edge-on plywood letters.
Everything arrived on time in Florence today and installed fairly easy in the boiling hot Italian weather, The overall design still needs a little more work and work on the lighting before the show opens tomorrow morning. If anyone is in Florence please come along to see us!
The following pictures show the build of the stand- it ended up looking something like the drawing but everything is always rather flexible, i'll try to take some better photos tomorrow when i have more time...
and some details photos, the display cabinet box and the bench seat box, both were used to ship goods to the show...
the shipping boxes made from shuttering plywood with wheels and cut out handles...
plywood typography...
