Refurbishing Galleries for the Haywards Light Show Exhibition

What did we do?

We worked to complete all re-build and decoration, finishing with  2 days to spare (much to the thanks of the curator and art handlers!)

Specialist works required included:

• Creating a room with diminishing radius corners in it to allow an optical illusion.
• Installing a blackout room including a 12M water tank to show light through water. This required a complete strip out of the previous exhibition and erecting over 500M² of new stud partition walls. All of which had to be completed within 2 days in order to allow enough time to tape & joint and dry.
• Refurbishing the full gallery; sanding down, filling, undercoating and applying 2 coats of Dulux emulsion.
• Contracting a specialist master plasterer to create the desired diminishing radius corners.
• Constructing a 12M reinforced timber trough lin-ing it to ensure it was completely waterproofed which was then used to feature Olafur Eliasson’s "Model for a Time-less Garden (2011)" an exhibition designed to show the reflective qualities of water & light .
