Mobile Studio: Display for a Display
Dreamspace is proud to announce the first ever solo-exhibition of the London based architecture & design studio, Mobile Studio.

Founded by architects Max Dewdney and Chee-Kit Lai, Mobile Studio has developed an internationally recognized and award winning practice. For the exhibition Display for a Display Mobile Studio will re-visit their archive of works and present four major projects alongside new works developed for the exhibition in a context of public accessibility and critique. The works represent their ongoing research into the fields of public engagement and institutional display typologies and the exhibition aims to place the designs and the city inside one other in the contested public/private space of the gallery. Display for a Display will bring together Mobile Studio's commissioned work for museums and galleries, not as static items but as active display strategies, each housing historical and new objects relating to an exploration of the idea that the space (and design) of the archival museum is an extension of the living city rather than a removed space of abstract analysis.

The exhibition will focus on the idea of the user’s perception as a site-specific entity which alters in relation to its surroundings. Each display system in the exhibition is designed as a temporary and flexible exhibition structure to allow for museum collections to be accessed by diverse publics in varying on-site and off-site locations. By making the Museum portable, and taking it out into the city the possibility for wider engagement is proposed in which objects, viewers and sites are placed in a new relationship to each other.

A programme of public and private events will further investigate notions of engagement design through direct interaction with diverse audiences and will act as research sessions, informing Mobile Studio's future practice.

The exhibition has received some financial support from the Architectural Research Fund (ARF) at UCL as part of a design research project.

Presentations today

Hello All,

Well done on the presentations today. I hope that you feel that they went well and that you were happy with presenting your ideas.

I think there's lots of mileage in this project and we'll be able to explore how it goes next week after Chris and Judy have been able to discuss and mull over the concepts.

Angharad

Good luck for tomorrow

I've got lots of gallery type news but won't put it up now - I hope you're all ready for tomorrow!

I'll see you at 12 noon to check the room etc.

Well I finally got on, tried my personal email and it must be that one I'm using... the separation between personal and professional is smaller than it used to be I suppose.

Here's a pic from the game on Sunday. It was a useful experience although one I won't be repeating. I also watched the oral history DVD yesterday so am feeling quite immersed in the project.

 The HED team and a rugby league expert - my partner! 

Scenes from the game on Sunday 4th March 2012

They may make you appreciate the art of the sports photographer!

I enjoyed seeing the work you showed us yesterday morning - keep at it and make sure that you document all ideas so that they can be shown  - even if they are the ones that you choose not to go with in the end. Remember, don't rein yourselves in at this stage - that can come later, if necessary.

Swinton Lion's match!

It was cold but fun to watch the rugby match! The cheering of Swinton's supporters are great, made  cheerful atmosphere. With such a powerful cheer, Swinton Lion won the game! Good team, I enjoyed so much!

SOUND, exhibitions and heritage experience.

We are all becoming aware of the need to record voice and other environmental sound for archive purposes.
It may be worth looking in to the existing use, and potential use, of sound within the exhibit your are developing a proposal for.

Swinton Lions programmes

Hi

Yesterday I was asked if I could add some of the images from the covers of the Swinton Lions programmes so here they are, I don't have any images for the more recent programmes.  I also have images for the inside pages of these programmes so if you want to see any please let me know there are some early advert designs in them.xx

Hello all,
I stayed in the gallery this morning and had a better look at the exhibitions and really enjoyed both the Kates - photography and drawings. Here you all are with Amy and the boxers. Angharad

PS, see some of you Sunday!

Hello exhibition design!
I was in London over the weekend and in the course of doing things with my family, went to several places that gave me ideas for this project - albeit in rather indirect ways.
These were the new Westfield (Stratford) shopping centre, with extensive views over the Olympic park, Columbia Road flower market and Bond Street and Piccadilly in central London.

Westfield and Colombia Road made me think how exciting it is when people converge on one place - that feeling of going towards something interesting .. so I took a few pics to try to capture this.

Looking from Westfield into Stratford - check the fake trees

At the end of Colombia Road market ... think temporary stalls - even the satellite dish is portable.

But the best part was some of the shops I saw in Westfield and also on Bond Street and the surrounding (very up market) area. Some of the ideas, of multiples, rabbits, or cut outs, simple to do with paper, or huge models, or single colour schemes, are in fact simple and could be executed in a variety of ways. Anyway, here are the pics.. I hope you can make them out.

Burberry window, see also giant soft boiled egg, below

Think this might Nikki de Saint Phalle art work(?) but is large papier mache anyway

Simple, large shapes, very up market shop, can't remember which one

Paper sculpture and fairground horses, all off white, Louis Vuitton

Asprey's (jeweller) window, series of frames with small 3 D pictures 

Diesel?

Richard James, Savile Row

What do red and white model rabbits have to do with top of the market tailoring?

This egg is over 1m tall, so is the toast soldier

Hope these give you some ideas for effective display - most could be interpreted in card or cheap or recycled materials.

The Reds Gallery Liverpool

I went to Liverpool on the weekend to see some exhibitions and get some ideas and while i was walking to the station for my return back in manchester i saw the Reds Gallery. I really enjoy my visit there, the atmosphere and the design of the gallery were really good

Barclays pop up marketing exhibition.
When talking to one of the students involved from Manchester Uni, she mentioned it was a marketing company from London who had designed this for Barclays and it was to promote their facebook site www.facebook/differentscale and their graduate opportunities.  The giant chair and small van are to encourage you to to think in a different perspective.

Stockport Market

Here are some pictures from Stockport of the "bus stop" style exhibition in the market and one of the stalls that sold cakes.
