Emerging Professionals are Freeing the Museum


We are thrilled to celebrate the work of exhibit and design students who are applying Free the Museum practices and tactics to their projects. For now, the pandemic has put their final installations on hold. In the meantime, let’s give them a virtual audience.

Project Spotlight

Disrupt Space Gallery Black Box
Elevating Black Artists
 
In London's historically Black Brixton neighborhood, a team of students in the Narrative Environments course from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design worked with the Disrupt Space Gallery to find ways to connect neighborhood residents with the work of the Black artists represented by the gallery. The students' interactive mobile pop-up will take visitors through four art experiences in the neighborhood, culminating at the gallery where projections spill onto the street, inviting visitors inside.

Streetscape Therapy
 
The Greater Ormond Street Hospital for Children is a dominating presence in its neighborhood within London’s Bloomsbury District. Two Narrative Environments student teams designed parklets for public spaces that can serve as a gift to the community and offer the hospital’s its patients, families, staff, and neighbors a healthy, healing, and inspiring streetscape.
Look Down Beach Sand
Showcasing Sand

Showing that you don't have to have a team to create a Free the Museum project, industrial design student Gaby Jaspan's has envisaged a seaside intervention, Don’t Forget to Look Down, to encourage beach-goers to study and appreciate the quartz and shell particles that comprise the sand between their toes on the beaches of Florida or Georgia.
