Lighting Design Art Gallery – Artist of the Year Exhibition 2016

Our gallery lighting design experts have been working hard on the lighting design at the Korean Cultural Centre in London City.

The newest contemporary art exhibition, “Riptide,” presents Koo Jeong A, the Korean Cultural Artist of the Year. Koo Jeong A exhibits her work in collaboration with a creative group of renowned artists. The seven international artists had specific lighting design requirements and conditions for their distinctive art installations. Our lighting designers collaborated with the exhibition curatorial team before this exhibit to upgrade and retrofit LED lighting design into their London art galleries.

The present exhibition offered a unique opportunity for our lighting design team to put the new gallery lighting improvements to the test. Furthermore, the previous art exhibition provided an excellent chance for our lighting designers to demonstrate and illuminate various lighting design improvements to the client. For example, the initial art gallery track lighting with retail spotlights (light fixtures) was inadequate for the task.

The original lighting solutions for the art gallery system were installed by an electrical contractor. They, regrettably, had no awareness of how to light artwork successfully. Our lighting designers proposed gradual lighting scheme enhancements to complement each new art exhibition.

“Beautiful, elegant lighting, exactly how I wanted the light for my art installation!” – Koo Jeong A – Korean Cultural Center Artist of the Year 2016.

The installation of new track lighting in a grid layout within the art gallery has resulted in significant improvements to the overall lighting design. The bespoke conservation lighting design was seamlessly integrated into the grid layout, providing a visually stunning atmosphere while viewing the artworks on display.

This methodology allowed for the provision of extraordinary lighting design solutions within a restricted budget. The resultant lighting improvements not only enhanced the overall experience of the audience but also provided a well-balanced and positive ambience. The installation of the new track lighting in the grid layout has also contributed to the adaptability of the lighting system, allowing for the inclusion of custom lighting designs without any interruption in the overall layout.

In conclusion, the lighting design improvements have provided an exceptional solution to the art gallery’s lighting requirements while maintaining a high degree of professionalism and expertise, making KCCUK’s contemporary art exhibition Riptide a great success. Next time, more lighting improvements will be made to the gallery spaces, including supplementary art gallery track lighting and fixtures. Watch this space!
