How we broke a world record and sent the World’s Largest Art Exhibition to space… Breaking records is exciting. Breaking records in space? Unforgettable. 🚀🎨 Send My Stuff to Space recently had the privilege of sending the world's largest art exhibition to the upper stratosphere. We launched a gallery of original pieces by talented artists, capturing their work 120,000 feet above Earth. This exhibition didn’t just set a new world record—it also changed the way we think about where art can go and how it can inspire. Realising this vision involved careful planning, precision engineering, and a unique approach to showcasing these pieces in an environment few have seen firsthand. By taking art to space, we didn’t just capture stunning footage—we created a moment that speaks to the limitless possibilities of creativity. The World’s Largest Art Exhibition, floating above the planet… what else can we take up there? www.sendmystufftospace.com #ArtInSpace #WorldRecordArt #BeyondEarthArt #StratosphereExhibition #InnovativeCreativity #SpaceGallery #WorldsLargestArtExhibition #WorldRecord

As a curator, you play a pivotal role in promoting an Art and the Artist. The Exhibition is a space that enables you to increase the relevance of every collection and help you create a connection between the Art and the viewer. One needs to have an understanding of the thematic concerns of every piece of Art exhibited, this helps you to be able to communicate the value of every piece to the audience. Nevertheless you need to consider and note down some key things you have to do to ensure the success of the Exhibition; *Marketing/publicity *Design/Exhibition space *selection and Assemblage of Works etc Being in a space of Colours is irresistible. #curator #artexhibition #contemporaryart

The importance of the display in an exhibition! The exhibition ‘Hello World. Revision of a Collection’ was on display at the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart in Berlin from 28 April to 26 August 2018. ‘Hello World. Revision of a Collection’ is a critical examination of the National Gallery's collection and its predominantly Western orientation: what would it look like today if a more cosmopolitan understanding had characterised its concept of art and its creation? How would an expansion and multiplication of perspectives affect the canon and art historical narratives? Based on these questions, the exhibition unfolds in thirteen thematic chapters as a polyphonic collaboration between internal and external curators across the entire exhibition space of the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin.’ A canon for situational narratives was developed by the raumlaborberlin   Widening the view and placing it in relation to international cultural and artistic production - also in retrospect - gives us the opportunity to see the artworks in a new light. On the other hand, the frames of reference allow us to uncover visible references and gain new perspectives. Based on this dialogue of ‘retrospective vision’, an exhibition concept has been developed that also translates this form of observation, questioning and connection spatially as a starting point and accepts the challenge of providing impulses for the future.  #exhibitiondisplay #museumdisplay #museumcollection #curatorialproject #curatorialschool #venice #berlin

Museum Exhibition Design: Museums are revamping exhibition designs to meet challenges, with temporary exhibits focusing on cohesive themes for better engagement and incorporating virtual experiences. Permanent collections are being regularly refreshed for dynamic displays with new perspectives. Gallery Takeaway: Showcase artists' work through three to four themed annual exhibitions that resonate beyond the art world, creating buzz for your gallery and artists. Consider guest curators for support and present established artists in with alternative viewpoints to draw new buyers' interest.

We tend to assume that museums are one of several groups of things that in some way belong to us all - part of our ‘commons’ perhaps. It’s only when stories like this hit the news that we wake up and realise that they and their collections are often just private property. A registered museum would have policies in place for handover to other institutions. I don’t know what the status of the Shipwreck Museum is, nor what the famous landowner’s motives are. What safeguards would put the ‘myth of the commons’ into reality? How do other cultures manage this kind of thing?
