Project:
Exhibition: "The High Seas of Ilse Aichinger" at the Literary Colloquium Berlin
Tasks:
Production and installation of exhibition graphics
Material:
Honeycomb panels with UV direct printing, display board
Execution:
The exhibition “Ilse Aichinger’s High Seas” focuses on the renowned Austrian author, who would have turned 100 in 2021.
The graphic substrates are lightweight, sustainable honeycomb-core panels that we printed using our UV flatbed printer and subsequently contour-cut with a CNC router.
The panels are lightweight, which allowed us to hang them using multiple overlapping layers on nylon cords. The choice of cardboard materials has once again proven to be highly effective. We produced the sleeves for the mounting holes ourselves using a 3D printer.
The honeycomb cardboard panels were partially enhanced with tactile elements. These are object reproductions printed on display board, also using UV-direct-print. At key points in the exhibition, references were marked with small flags that we made from wooden dowels and self-adhesive film using latex printing.
Two eye-catchers, also made from honeycomb cardboard, are a flyer stand and a table. The stand is mounted on an adjustable aluminum base and features a small compartment for holding flyers.
The table was also entirely built from honeycomb panels and displays several documents with a view of Wannsee. These were printed half directly onto the honeycomb cardboard and half on paper, which was mounted on the table with spacing.
