Design and production
Temporary exhibitions: what are they and how are they developed?
A temporary exhibition is conceived to remain open for a defined period. It may involve research, curatorial work, museography, loans, conservation, lighting, graphics, audiovisual media, fabrication, transport, installation and dismantling. Proyecto Museo designs, produces and installs temporary exhibitions in Mexico, from concept and museography through opening.
What is a temporary exhibition?
A temporary exhibition presents artworks, objects, documents, images or content for a limited period and with a specific curatorial or interpretive purpose. Unlike a permanent exhibition, its schedule affects loans, insurance, conservation, production, logistics, installation and dismantling from the outset.
Proyecto Museo provides integrated temporary exhibition design and production. Services may be commissioned by stage or as complete coordination, depending on venue, collection, lenders, schedule and required scope.
Scope
What services does a temporary exhibition require?
Not every exhibition requires the same components.
Production and logistics
Fabrication, printing, packing, transport, insurance, site coordination, installation and mounting.
Opening and dismantling
Testing, lighting focus, media commissioning, documentation, maintenance and final removal.
How is a temporary exhibition designed?
The process begins with purpose, venue, audiences, collection, schedule and budget. Content is then structured, visitor circulation defined, display systems and interpretive resources developed, and conservation, lighting, graphics, technology, fabrication and logistics coordinated. Documentation must allow the exhibition to be produced, installed, tested and dismantled in a controlled manner.
