Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s fall 2016 traveling exhibition organized by Detroit Institute of Arts.
Detroit’s checklist consisted of two overarching sections, Social Dance and Dancers Take the Stage. At Crystal Bridges, we use different color and lighting schemes for the two sections to make the shift obvious to visitors. Social Dance, consisting of earlier works, had a darker color scheme and more even lighting.
The sections were further broken down into 9 sub-sections. Each section was given a printed aluminum text panel running from 36” AFF to the top of the wall, mounted at a 15-degree angle off the wall. The angles were oriented to direct visitor flow through the gallery. These dramatic panels, along with the angled temporary walls reinforced ideas of movement.
