Modernism: Designing a New
World
Victoria & Albert Museum, London
2006, £560k
Fraser Randall was appointed by the Victoria
& Albert Museum as the Project Manager, Cost Consultant, and
the Planning Supervisor for the blockbuster exhibition Modernism:
Designing a New World.
This major exhibition was the first of its
kind to explore Modernism from the perspective of the international
design world in such detail. Christopher Wilks, the curator managed
to bring together a wide variety of art and objects from around
the world including Walter Zapp's Minox camera of 1936, Leger paintings
and photographs by Man Ray. Such loaned objects are often only confirmed
within weeks of the exhibition opening and this required a particular
kind of flexible design strategy that Fraser Randall implemented
to deal with late changes and decisions.
Fraser Randall worked closely with the designers of the temporary exhibition which continues
the theme of the architecture design movements of the past two centuries. |
