THE STUDIO

Based in Boston, Marks + Spaces designs and produces exhibitions, installations, and interactive media experiences. 

story + media + space + people

We work directly with curators, academics, museums, businesses, universities, and cultural centers to develop and produce exhibitions.

Notable exhibition projects include Birthing in Alabama: Design and Redesign of Reproduction for the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, Living with Hurricanes, Katrina and Beyond for the Louisiana State Museum, and the redesign of the American Indian Art Galleries for the Denver Art Museum. 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.
