The gallery often hosts special exhibitions of
contemporary art which require unique settings. The Charles Evans team
have built walls, screens and display cabinets as well as putting in
plinths, ceilings and doors - on each project they have worked closely
with the gallery to put together the best backdrop for the new exhibition.
One
particularly challenging project was the presentation of Damien Hirst's
Prodigal Son. The artwork included two glass tanks that each contained
half a calf in formaldehyde. Charles Evans had the unusual and very necessary
job of building a robust false floor on which to situate the tanks. This
provided a safe way of
collecting the formaldehyde, should there have been any leakage. |
