Exhibition graphics at MMoCA

Celebrating art at MMoCA

The goal with any exhibition graphics is to provide visitors with context, and not to compete with the artwork. Sometimes we’re able to create some supporting graphics that complement the artwork, which is always fun–or in the case of the BIG exhibition, buttons for visitors to take. These title walls from exhibitions at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art included extra details drawn from the artists’ work.

The photo from the Joel Shapiro exhibition is by Amandalynn Jones. Gallery photos for Far Out and Jeffrey Gibson are by Sharon Vanorny. The photo from Dark Matter is by Jim Escalante.
