Client: The
Art Institute of Chicago
"Alsdorf and Modern Galleries" |
|
Designers, architects and the curators have been able to "reimagine" the
Art Institute's entire collection. The new Alsdorf Galleries, designed by the
Renzo Piano Building Workshop, have created a bridge between the East Asian Art
to Western Civilizations' Art to the Modern Wing. And Proto Productions has brought
their concept to reality. Never before have they been able to showcase their
270,000 objects from all their collections concurrently. Proto Productions fabricated
over two hundred custom display cases, vitrines, platforms, podiums, dividers,
and wall shelves for the Galleries. We were in close co-ordination with their
curators, conservators, and designers to maintain compliance with all conservation
guidelines, including relative humidity, color schemes, and security. Many conservation
cases were also provided with silica gel (desiccant) chambers. Cases were sealed
to maintain relative humidity and prevention of dust and other pollutants.
