Bespoke Video Art Installations
Open Gallery specialises in video art installations. Our design team is expert in integrating art in settings outside of the traditional gallery context. Our moving image artworks can dramatically transform the emotional impact of a space, without distracting from the function of the space itself. We develop installations tailored specifically for your needs and which integrate into the architectural features of reception halls, suites, meeting rooms and restaurants.
