gewerkdesign-ausstellung-Popmusik Bremen-exponat

Background

Following the great success of gewerkdesign’s exhibition »Oh Yeah – Pop Music in Switzerland« at the Museum of Communication in Bern, the exhibition’s content and design were adapted to Germany. Now designed as a travelling exhibition, its first venue is the Focke-Museum in Bremen. The exhibition presents more than 90 years of German pop music in the set design of a radio show: from the 1920s Swing to the Beat era, Punk, Neue Deutsche Welle, Techno and Hip Hop up to the present. Equipped with headphones, the visitors can listen into a rich variety of songs. Many acoustic and film stations offer a journey into their very own musical history. Produced by gewerkdesign and supervised by the same team as in Bern, the travelling exhibition was set up in Bremen between September 2016 and July 2017. Its next venues are Frankfurt a.M. (17.08.17 to 25.02.18), Berlin (15.03. to 16.09.18), Leipzig and Stuttgart.

Background

In less than six months, gewerkdesign developed and constructed an exhibition sculpture made of a curved steel pipe and cherry wood.

The sculpture can be viewed from all sides and guides the visitors into creatively interpreting musical motives like melody, staves, and composing. Despite the light appearance of the metal construction, the steel pipe contains the whole of the exhibition’s technical equipment. Thus »The Enterprise of Opera« is a »plug-and-play« exhibition resembling the scenic design of an opera set, which can be mounted and dismounted very quickly.

Portfolio / Range of Services: exhibition design and planning, approval planning, implementation planning, preparation and participation in the commissioning process, planning of the exhibits’ presentation, production, signage, project management and counselling project development, graphic design of the exhibition and the accompanying booklet
