| Our
Mission |
|
| The
Apeejay Media Gallery is a premier forum committed to showcasing
high quality, experimental work in new media and emerging
technologies from India and abroad. |
|
|
|
| Our
Vision |
|
| Space
is conquered. Space breaks free.Light captured in walls of
glass.With space within and without. The ether, continued.
The Media Gallery is 2000 square feet of simple, modern space
caught in a glass box. Rigorously abstract, spread across
several levels the Gallery is designed to allow for fluidity
of expression and movement. The bareness seeks to encourage
new ways of looking at the arts, showcasing new media and
emerging technologies and furthering artistic debate, providing
inspiration and controversy alike. |

| About
Apeejay Media Gallery |
|
| In
the Gallery, one enters space in an abstract glass box. Space
that isn’t defined by the walls that confine it, nor quantified
by the square feet it covers. But space that has been designed
as an experience of light and texture, function and facility.
Where the interplay between outdoors and the indoors is enriched
by the use of technology to create a contemporary Media Gallery
to showcase new media and emerging technologies and to create
an environment that is interactive and inspiring. An environment
that through space and technology enlivens the senses and
encourages creativity.Apeejay Media Gallery has been designed
with unique projection, lighting and exhibition facilities. |

|
|
| Display |
|
| The
Gallery has glass-hanging cases that can be moved or rotated
to any desired location or angle. These glass cases have two
glass panes with fixing and hanging arrangements so that any
2-dimensional picture can be safely sandwiched in between
and viewed from any angle. The ‘Installation Wall’ is a unique
display mechanism, which will house a series of computers
to show work that is displayed on computer screens. |
|
|
|
| Lighting |
|
|
The lighting has been placed on a grid in such a way so that
the lights can move along the length and breath of the Gallery
and can be rotated to any angle to focus on the desired element. |
|
|
|
| Projection |
|
| The
building has sand blasted glass and hence images and other
projections can be done on either inside or outside. For outdoor
performances projections can be made on the outside wall from
the outdoors. Seating can be in the Amphitheatre outside and
for inside areas, projections can be done from inside.Images
come out clear aided by diffused, indirect light from all
over. For special effects, provision of spotlights has been
made. Natural or diffused lights bathe the gallery. Lights
placed on a grid, move along the length and breadth of the
gallery and can rotate to any angle. 2-Dimensional pictures
can be safely sandwiched between two glass panes and hung
or mounted on moveable systems that facilitate viewing from
any location or at any angle within the gallery. The sandblasted
glass walls of the gallery can be used for image projections
from either the inside or the outside. With all these facilities,
an amalgam of arts like video, computer, installation, performance,
sculpture, photography, painting, theatre, music and dance
can find expression here.
Apeejay Media Gallery has been designed by a panel of eminent
architects including Mohan Lal Associates (New Delhi), Hafeez
Contractor (Mumbai), Gruentuch & Ernst (Germany).The interiors
have been conceptualised by Prakash Mankar Associates (Mumbai).
Apeejay Project and Design Team has executed the project.
