Notice Title
Tate - Tate Modern Blavatnik L2 South Gallery re-design - Creating a flexible and sustainable exhibition space - Request for Information
Notice Description
Last financial year, over PS400k was spent on alternations of the Tate Modern gallery spaces, mainly dismantling and re-building walls to suit the layout requirements for each exhibition. This practise also contributes to one of the largest portions of the carbon footprint generated by exhibitions production. The next three exhibitions scheduled for Blavatnik L2 South Gallery are The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh, Light&Magic and Ana Mendieta. Each of these will require very different typology of artworks and different wall configurations, entailing significant structural changes that will further compound negative cost and carbon footprint trends. It is highly likely that, following current practice, a number of walls built for Light&Magic, will be demolished for the following show. The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh, scheduled prior to this, also provides a unique window of opportunity where we will be required to completely dismantle all walls in the gallery space, thus creating a blank canvas to work from. OUR AIMS - WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE The TM Programme team would like to turn this challenge into an opportunity, where we are taking advantage of a completely empty space to design a new gallery that could be adapted for multiple exhibition projects. This project will commission specialised designers to design a set of modular, movable and re-configurable walls to use in Blavatnik L2 South Gallery. This would allow us to respond to project-specific spatial needs by achieving multiple layouts with flexible setworks, making substantial efficiencies in construction costs, materials, labour and waste. Blavatnik L2 South Gallery will enable us to pilot new ways of working in exhibition productions, providing a template that could be applied to other spaces at Tate Modern and other sites. This will also highlight Tate as a leader in developing new approaches to sustainable and circular exhibition production approaches for the wider art sector.
Lot Information
Lot 1
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR We would like to understand from the market; -Whether the precedent exists for the creation of a set of modular, re-configurable, and sustainable set of walls to suit multiple exhibition projects, on a long-term basis. -Any thoughts on the design of such walls, how they would look, be constructed etc. -The typical makeup of the materials to be used in such walls, to ensure that they are robust enough, and their typical lifespan to ensure the project returns the kind of carbon footprint reduction expected. -Whether it is feasible for such walls to be designed and constructed in time for the early November 2025 build period of Light&Magic. -Typical costings you would expect e.g. cost per m2, build costs, design costs to allow us to understand the potential cost savings as opposed to the build and break cycle as now. -Anything else you consider would be helpful, recommendations, ideas, we are interested in what you know!
