We played a pivotal role in delivering the Turner: The Sun is God exhibition to a standard of excellence. In collaboration with Tate London, this extraordinary exhibition explored J.M.W. Turner’s fascination with celestial bodies and the sublime beauty of nature. For the first time in Ireland, over 80 of Turner’s masterpieces, carefully curated by acclaimed scholar David Blayney Brown, were on display. The exhibition unfolded across five thematic rooms, each highlighting Turner’s artistic innovations and his mastery of light, color, and atmosphere.
We took charge of the comprehensive communications plan, ensuring that the exhibition’s impact extended far beyond the gallery walls. Our responsibilities included the creation of the exhibition identity, printed materials, online promotion, internal and external graphics, text panels, and artwork labeling. We also designed and implemented signage and in-house digital screens. With our meticulous attention to detail and dedication to the project, we contributed to making this exhibition a resounding success that celebrated the brilliance of J.M.W. Turner and his profound connection with nature.
