This is a selection of exhibition spaces I have found by Peter Kogler. I was taken by these design in particular as the exhibitions themselves are like stand alone art works! I like how the term 'Thinking outside the box' has been taken literally, meaning that the artworks have been able to 'spill' from their canvases and leave their mark on the space. This has also given me an insight into different lighting styles in an exhibition rather than plain spot lighting (which may have been trendy 20 years ago but isn't very original nowadays)

| This is one of my favorite images because there doesn't appear to be any physical signs of artworks on the walls, but the way that the lighting has been used to cast different shapes in different colours throughout the corridor is really quite original. Also it looks as if the walls have been covered in an almost circuit board print which is quite a nice touch (but I suppose it could just be the way that the lights are projecting?) |

| This is quite an interesting space, but I can imagine a lot of people would complain that it hurts their eyes...Live a little!! It makes me thing of what I would imagine the underneath of floorboards to look like with electrical wiring and piping all over the place. I know its probably not part of the design but I also quite like how the red fire extinguisher and fire alarm box stand out from the rest of the room. |

| When I think of regular art galleries I think of plain white spaces with paintings or whatever artworks laid around for people to look at, but this isn't particularly the case in this design. I like how one of the walls has been covered in a printed paper, and works with a similar print have been laid on top of them. I have not thought of doing anything like this myself as I would imagine it to look terrible but looking at this I think it works really well!. Another thing that got me thinking is the height of the artworks themselves. I would always imagine people looking up at the works in an art gallery but in this space it doesn't look as if people would have to (obviously I can't see the scale of the room when it is in use but from what I can see the artworks look really low!) |
