Exhibition Design

An exhibition is going round the world, stopping in Kuala Lumpur, Oslo, Tétouan, Madrid. This is a challenge both logistically and in terms of the different spaces offered by the various venues.

Travelling with an Exhibition

The exhibition architecture, a modular design based on a wooden frame, is adaptable, multifunctional, capable of being set up and dismantled quickly and easily, while at the same time being both light and compact enough to be transported. Wolfgang Fiel and architect and carpenter Martin Bereuter devised this wooden-frame construction, that can be adapted to the site-specific circumstances in each location. Screens, mounted at the ends of the wooden structure, show the interviews and the video feedback left by visitors in the digital guest book. The exhibition as a whole fits into five transport boxes based on the dimensions of the Euro-pallet.

Exhibition Design

The design concept used for the display, its material execution in aesthetic terms, and the quality of its workmanship all relate to the theme of the exhibition, reflecting its complex content and scenographical issues. Large-format textile prints, suspended in the frames like index cards in a hanging folder, present selected architecture projects. Visitors who take them out for closer inspection, actively contribute to the structural design of the presentation medium. The transport boxes turned upside down can be used as finely worked pedestals on which to present the handcrafted objects, the library, and the magazines. The visual appearance of the exhibition is equally subtle – the fruit of a collaboration between Wolfgang Fiel and designer Clemens Theobert Schedler.
