turner contemporary ::: Studio Baum ::: 2012

Working with Turner Contemporary in Margate, we designed and built ‘Page Turner’, a website to showcase the gallery’s young people’s ongoing art competition. The brief required an interface to allow students, teachers and teaching assistants to submit artwork to the competition online, which they and other users could then rate. The competition was split into two categories – ‘Secondary Education’ and ‘Further and Higher Education’ – and so the site needed to accommodate this.

Turner Contemporary asked Studio Baum to create exhibition graphics for the unveiling of the proposed designs for its new art gallery in Margate. We also developed a fun way for people to leave feedback – by writing their thoughts on interlinking coloured circles that could be then used to form a built structure.

Turner Contemporary commissioned Studio Baum to create exhibition graphics and signage for its ‘Inspiring Spaces’ exhibition, made by and for young people, in collaboration with The Beany in Canterbury and Stour Valley Arts.

We won a three-way pitch to work with Turner Contemporary and a group of teachers from schools in Kent, to create an inspiration education resource pack. The brief asked us to design a teaching guide that would inform and encourage young people and their teachers to engage in the development of this ground-breaking and innovative architectural project by the sea. (Based on the original designs for the building by Spence & Snøhetta. The actual gallery was then redesigned by David Chipperfield Architects.)
