Lighting Designers London for Craft Exhibition from Korea
The Korean Cultural Centre curatorial team contacted our lighting designers London studio to provide lighting design expertise. Their intention was to hold regular cultural exhibitions over the coming years. The first of these exhibitions was for upcoming craft exhibition “Make Your Movements".
This selection of specially chosen contemporary craft objects from Korea were sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sport & Tourism.
This craft exhibition divided the Korean Cultural Centre into 6 galleries. Three of these areas were street facing. Therefore we felt it very important these spaces should have lighting with wow factor! As people walked by the gallery they could gaze into the window facing galleries. With these beitifull crafted items and great lighting they might be tempted in to this free craft exhibition.
Almost instantly a good relationship was created between Simon Morris (lighting designer) and the exhibition curator from the Korean Cultural Foundation.
Utilising Simon’s exhibition design experience and suggestions, the exhibition layout was altered. These alterations made the displays much more visually appealing and stimulating.
This restructuring of the exhibition improved the existing lighting so that craft objects could be correctly lit with a reduction of unwanted shadows.
Working with the in house installation team and art handler from Korea we replaced existing halogen lamps with LED’s, These were of a 4000K cool white appearance & CRI 95 to achieve a uniform colour render.
The Korean Cultural Centres original track installation had been installed by electrical contractors. The contractors obviously had no understanding of light or how to correctly position the lighting track. So the lighting was always going to be a compromise but the whole team worked incredibly hard and focused to deliver a fascinating exhibition.
The Korean Cultural Centre will be investing over the coming exhibitions in improvements to the lighting equipment. These lighting implementations will be with expertise provided by SMA design lighting designers here in the London studio.
