  • Women Take the Floor challenged the dominant, male-centric lens through which 20th-century American Art has traditionally been presented by highlighting the work of overlooked and underrepresented women artists. The exhibition design sought to redefine the traditional art historical notion of the male-gaze by literally and metaphorically establishing a new framework for looking at art. Using red quote boxes as a graphic and red architectural frames for walls and doorways allowed audiences to experience a visual and physical shift of the ‘white cube,’ sensitively bringing historic and contemporary works into dialogue

  • The Polaroid Project: At the Intersection of Art and Technology was an exhibition in two adjacent gallery spaces that explored various dimensions of the relationship between the art and technology of Polaroids, with over 200 photographs and 100 objects. To unite the two galleries, and the art and the technology, the iconic Polaroid spectrum rainbow logo was translated into a continuous spine through the centerline of the exhibition, tying together the 2 gallery spaces, display cases, immersive seating, and a connecting wall. The display cases featured artifacts including prototypes, components, and cameras tracing the Polaroid company’s many technological innovations over time. Photographs were displayed on “baffle” walls inspired by the interior of a 20x24 large format instant camera, which was also prominently displayed in the exhibition.Visit the VR tour here.

  • Renoir: The Body The Senses was an exhibition that followed the long and fascinating career of Pierre-Auguste Renoir through one of his most common subjects, the nude. Although he is most famous for Impressionist works, the exhibition featured lesser known dimensions of the artist—starting with Realism and culminating in modern classicism— showing that Renoir’s style was actually varied and constantly evolving. At the heart of theexhibition, the show featured a round gallery space displaying multiple studies for a single painting, off ering a moment of pause and reflection. Also featured in the exhibition were large scale wall murals and a timeline.

  • Then They Came for Me: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties was an exhibition that examined the period when 1 20,000 people, most of them US citizens, were evicted from their homes and imprisoned by the US government without due process or constitutional protections. The exhibition featured works by photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, as well as ephemera and artifacts. The design concept for the exhibition was based on an image of an incarcerated Japanese American young man, later killed in action serving the very country that incarcerated him, standing in front of an American flag. During this terrifying time in US history, “patriotism” created layers of divisiveness among the American people: racial, generational, and ideological. In the gallery, the horizontal stripes reminiscent of the American flag became the visual language that was carried through the exhibition, creating spatial divisions as well as a constant awareness that you, as a visitor, are always on one side or the other.

  • Common Threads: Weaving Stories Across Time featured a newly commissioned opera inspired by a set of 16th century Flemish tapestries. A table at the center of the gallery, designed to embody the opera’s lyrical qualities, functioned as a place where visitors could pick up headphones and watch an introductory video. “Threads” made of electrical conduit rose up from the center of the tabletop as if it was unraveling, and became label holders for each of the tapestries that were part of the opera. Since the opera itself had no form, the installation was able to give it physical presence.

A table at the center of the gallery, designed to embody the opera’s lyrical qualities, functioned as a place where visitors could pick up headphones and watch an introductory video. “Threads” made of electrical conduit rose up from the center of the tabletop as if it was unraveling, and became label holders for each of the tapestries that were part of the opera. Since the opera itself had no form, the installation was able to give it physical presence.
  • Balenciaga in Black at the Kimbell Museum was an overview of couturier Balenciaga’ s career from the 1940s to the 1960s. Over 100 pieces of hand made dresses were featured, including gowns, suits and accessories, all black. The goal of the exhibition design was to accentuate the various shapes, volumes, textures, and silhouettes of Balenciaga’ s timeless creations, and to encourage visitors to examine the exquisite detail in his work. Freestanding cases allowed for 36 0 degree, close-up viewing of the pieces, while cascading platforms enabled the composition of dramatic tableauxs.

The exhibition design evoked an intimate salon setting, with a large curtain drawn back with gold rope and tassels, armchairs, a chaise lounge, low tables, and a large carpet, inviting visitors into a world where writing and the visual arts intersected as expressions of creativity. In addition to the exhibition design and layout, IKD was responsible for graphic and lighting design.

  • IKD, was involved in a “once in a lifetime” opportunity at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, MA. Prompted by ongoing preservation and maintenance work at Gardner’s historic palazzo, the most important pieces from Gardner’s collection were installed in the new wing designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop extension which Yugon Kim, founding partner of IKD was also the project manager for during his 6+ years at the workshop. This allowed for the opportunity to view Gardner’s most important work together in a new context for the first time for the Off the Wall Exhibition. In order for these works to be temporarily moved from their current locations to the new wing special permission had to be obtained from the Massachusetts Attorney General for a variance from Gardner’s original will, which stipulated that the works could not be removed from their setting in the palazzo. IKD was responsible for the exhibition, graphic, and lighting design. Image by Ben Kou

  • IKD designed the renovation of a gallery space and casework in the historic Palazzo at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The space, named the Vatichino, originally housed Gardner’s personal travel albums, books and photos, but was converted into a coat check in the early 1970s. The space had been unused since the construction of the new extension by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in 2014. Since Gardner’s will forbids significant changes to be made to the Museum, the opportunity to work inside the old Palazzo was a rare chance to create a fresh gallery space in the historic building. Working within tight space restrictions and complying with modern code requirements, IKD designed a contemporary, flexible, conservation grade casework system that would not only allow for the intimate viewing of objects, but also integrated seamlessly with the historical language of the rest of the building. The Vatichino continues to function as a permanent gallery for exhibiting rotating archival material from the Museum’s collection. IKD also designed the first exhibition within the space, including graphics and lighting design.

  • IKD was responsible for the installation and exhibition design of the first ever museum retrospective of a single video game designer. The exhibition, The Game Worlds of Jason Rohrer at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, is a survey of the independent game designer Jason Rohrer work which has formed part of the Museum of Modern Art’s initial video game acquisition.The central theme examines where video games are positioned within our daily culture and questions whether or not video games are art. The space is designed around four large installations that both create immersive environments to enhance game-play and form an interpretation of the games themselves. It also challenges the traditional notion that exhibition design should sit quietly behind the exhibited work. While the design is centered on creating a focus on exhibited works The Games Worlds of Jason Rohrer explores new possibilities in exhibition design through the immersive installation environments. image by Ben KouTo see a panoramic click here

  • The resonance table is a table based up the logarithm geometry of a nautilus shell spiral. Utilizing the natural malleability of silicon bronze plate, we worked closely with the fabricators to create this table which the plates are laminated together to create the table support structure and delaminates from the horizontal X spine structure to create the table surface. A full scale CNC negative in MDF was fabricated to act as the jig to replicate the full paper mockup to replicate the precise layout designed. The dark patina was applied on the plate face while the edge conditions remained raw to highlight the lyrical movement of the table surface.
