MUSEUM EXPRESS (2021)
Mini exhibitions delivered to your doorstep.
Many galleries and museums had to close completely or partially during the Covid pandemic. My response was the MUSEUM EXPRESS project. A transport backpack, which is normally used for food delivery, was converted into a mini gallery. Art exhibitions could be ordered and delivered directly to the doorstep. A small attempt to support the cultural scene in this way. All exhibition deliveries were completely free of charge for the customers.
First, a memorable name (MUSEUM EXPRESS) and a classic black and white logo were developed. This should stand out above all with its simplicity from the other colorful delivery services. Inside the black transport backpack is a classic wooden white cube with a hidden LED light system. Here artists could exhibit installations, originals and prints.
The greatest challenge in the MUSEUM EXPRESS project was to create a logical concept and infrastructure. This involved design, communication, setting up the exhibition space, planning the exhibitions, announcing exhibitions, creating delivery tours and raising awareness/recognition of the project itself in the city.
From February 2022 – May 2022 the MUSEUM EXPRESS collaborated with the NRW FORUM ("Subversives Design") in Düsseldorf.
