title wall renderingAfter working through many title wall design options with both the graphic designer and curator, this option was determined to catch the visitor's eye and fit into the exhibition's overall visual vocabulary while not overpowering nearby art pieces.
gallery shotAi Weiwei: According to What? was a unique case for the IMA. Not all of the art objects would fit into the IMA's traditional traveling show galleries. As a result, creative spaces around the museum were utilized in order have the space in which to exhibit as much as possible. Here, Ai Weiwei's Divina Proportione and F Size are displayed against Sol Lewitt's monumental mural, Wall Drawing No. 652.
gallery renderingFor this exhibition both the curator, Mami Kataoka, and Ai Weiwei were offsite for most, if not the entirety of, the exhibition planning and installation stages. Gallery renderings aided the organization and installation planning of, for example, this forty ton art piece, Straight.
gallery shotThe installation of both Straight and List of Names (shown here) involved much collaboration with vendors, volunteers, and various departments throughout the museum. Engineers were consulted about the placement of Straight so that we could ensure the support of the 40 ton piece. Straight also required the coordination of about 10 workers over a period of 2 weeks to unpack 15 crates and place thousands of individual pieces of rebar. List of Names, seen on the wall behind Straight, required coordination between Ai Weiwei's studio in Beijing and a local Indianapolis printer.
