Chauvet adds elegance to Nottingham fundraiser
- Details
Recently, the gallery held a fundraising gala for future exhibition and education programmes. Lending an elegant and stylish touch to the dinner, which included a tribute to contemporary American artist Glenn Ligon, was a lighting design anchored by eight Maverick MK2 Spots and eight Maverick MK1 Hybrids from Chauvet Professional.
The gallery specified the Chauvet Professional fixtures for The Space, a room within its interior that resembles a concrete bunker. Richly coloured and smooth even fields of light from the Maverick fixtures transformed the room into a warm and inviting space for the evening’s event.
“Working together, the Maverick spots and hybrids proved to be excellent tools for transforming what is essentially a minimal exhibition space into a warm, vibrant room,” commented Philippa Sharpe, development coordinator at the Nottingham Contemporary.
The Maverick Spot fixtures were hung from the ceiling of The Space to provide saturated colour spot lighting on various dinner tables, which created relaxed yet elegant looks. The Maverick MK1 Hybrid fixtures, which feature beam, spot and wash effects, were also positioned from ceiling truss. These fixtures provided added spot lighting between the tables of guests. They also lit the podium as a beam effect to lend visual support to the event’s speakers.
“Contrasting the warm saturated colours and cooler colours worked really well to add ambiance to the minimal concrete room,” commented Fiona. “The Maverick fixtures created a wonderful atmosphere – absolutely essential given the international presence among guests.”
