THE STUDIO

Based in Boston, Marks + Spaces designs and produces exhibitions, installations, and interactive media experiences. We also develop brand strategies and identities.

story + media + space + people

We work directly with independent curators, museums, businesses, universities, and cultural centers, and we collaborate with curators, architects, graphic designers, media producers, interpretive planners, and fabricators.

Notable exhibition projects include Now What?! Boston for Architexx at the Boston Society of Architects, Living with Hurricanes, Katrina and Beyond for the Louisiana State Museum, and What’s Going On? Newark and the Legacy of the 60s for the New Jersey Historical Society. Marks + Spaces has worked with MetLife in various capacities from designing a Manhattan based, multimedia Brand Experience Gallery to the design of studio sets, brand identity standards, stadium scaled motion graphic designs, and internal media communications.

We like to start at the beginning of a project and work with our clients to envision and develop coherent and engaging storylines and experiences. We think narrative, strategy, and design are all integral to the process of developing public projects and strong brands. And we think careful site analysis produces designs that are the most integrated +/or responsive to the existing architecture and building conditions. We work with a focus on creating opportunities for visitor participation. Experiences become more meaningful when visitors get actively involved. We work across media to facilitate that involvement.
