Gardiner & Theobald LLP

Having met Kevin Arnold from G&T to view the new site for site specific artworks, our rational behind the new commission was to take into account the work that Gardiner & Theobald specialise in, so in a loose way, we chose works which reflected their business in construction and consultancy.

Two artists were commissioned to fulfil the brief, firstly Brazillian ceramic artist Valeria Nascimento who created a wall sculpture ‘Ordered Chance’ which was constructed from ceramic cubes to represent Gardiner & Theobald’s position both in the locality and also in the construction industry. Secondly, a wall panel was commissioned from the light artist Chris Wood.

Roche Diagnostics

A collection of contemporary art in which the subjects relate to nature, people and the area local to Burgess Hill.

The redeveloped building was decorated to a very high standard in a contemporary style, with attention to the smallest of details.

A brief was given to Art Contact to include ‘nature, people and the local area’ into the subject manner. These were included but not always in the most literal of senses, encouraging the staff and visitors to think about the works exhibited. Contemporary glassware was also commissioned including an illuminated plinth to light the glass works from beneath.

Bonelli Erede & Hengeler Mueller

A collection of art by artists from England, Italy and Germany was curated by Art Contact, for the German – Italian law firm’s offices in central London.

Our brief for this project was to use international artists, particularly from Germany and Italy.

 

We chose works which related loosely to law, such as books by Veronica Bailey. The international theme was brought in through works by Piere Imhof and Irma Irsara.

The contemporary artwork was selected to re-enforce both the corporate identity and to support the minimalist interior design of their new offices.
