Nissen Richards Studio
Nissen Richards Studio has designed The Shape of Freedom; a new, temporary exhibition at MUNCH in Oslo, which is set to run until 21 May. The exhibition brings together
designs ‘The Shape of Freedom’
high-profile artworks from collections worldwide and examines the story of the great 20th century post-war art recovery and the birth of abstract expressionism and its European counterpart, art informel. Nissen Richards Studio’s design
approach for this exhibition was to create a loosely linear journey through the space. Throughout the visitor journey, interrelations and linking views are created between themes, with the forms
that enable this a series of monolithic, temporary walls, as well as a number of ‘disruptor’ angled walls, showcasing key works in the exhibition and altering the exhibition’s flow, whilst encouraging visitors to stop and think. Nissen Richards studio director Pippa Nissen commented: ‘The works on show are so bold and visually arresting that only a fairly neutral backdrop would serve them well, but of course we wanted to avoid that being in any way bland or uninteresting. We very much also wanted to capture a sense of the artistic process and the unfinished and the raw in the physical materiality of the exhibition.’
