Tate Britain
2007

A permanent exhibition that uses Tate Britain’s resources of JMW Turner’s work to create a didactic display. Aiming at school children and older age visitors in the same way, muf architecture/art designed interactive experiments that mimic Turner’s studio environment in the early 1800s. The graphics are fully integrated in the exhibition furniture, screen printed onto reclaimed timber. A bespoke rail was designed to keep the exchangeable captions at a low level, at a distance from the often small prints on display.
Two wall graphics show the increasing range of colour pigments available to Turner during his lifetime, and geographical tendencies how colour was used by Turner on his journeys across Europe. All watercolour was applied manually on carefully sourced papers, achieving a deliberately informal environment.
