Open Road Exhibition

Open Road is an Essex based charity that strives to reduce the harmful impact of drugs and alcohol on users, their families, partners and society. Working in close collaboration with fundraising consultant, Mark Ereira-Guyer and photographers Harland Payne, Barry set about designing a travelling, photographic exhibition that covered some of the issues experienced by Open Road clients. The exhibition system uses door blanks and custom-made connectors as a less expensive alternative to the usual ‘pop up’ systems.

Setting for Majesty

St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the most iconic buildings in London: it is one of the principal places of worship in Britain and has assumed a symbolic role that has been entwined with the history of the monarchy. It has been the backdrop for thanksgivings, commemorations at times of national importance and the scene of royal marriages. This exhibition, Elizabeth to Elizabeth, was designed by Barry Lowenhoff and vividly acknowledges the unique relationship through elegant design, colourful images and lively text.

Bittersweet

Once again joining forces as History by Design, New Meadow Media’s Ben Locker and Barry Lowenhoff created a poignant exhibition on the links between slavery, food and Wales on behalf of the Gateway Gardens Trust. Ben was responsible for researching the material in conjunction with GGT, and then writing it to a visually logical format. Barry Lowenhoff was the creative force behind the exhibition design.

The exhibition was launched to great acclaim in October 2008. Gateway Gardens Trust Chairman Bettina Harden was thrilled with the response it generated:

The Chairman of HLF said he never expected [the exhibition] to be as good, look so great and relate such difficult issues to people’s everyday lives. [Dr] Chris Evans LOVED it and is really looking forward to having it at the University of Glamorgan Library over the winter… we will feature in the Big Issue with some of our ex-homeless guests on the visit from Dragon Arts — and their response was so enthusiastic. Finally, the Leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council wants to get it on the Vale’s website, so tremendously positive all round.

Ben and Barry are looking forward to working with the Gateway Gardens Trust over the course of the Bittersweet project, and are already thinking about how best to do its final exhibition.

Refugee Postcards

This series of A6 postcards was designed by North Meadow Media’s Barry Lowenhoff for the European Council on Refugees and Exiles. They were used to promote a travelling exhibition that featured stories and images of refugees who had come to Western Europe. Interviews with the refugees were brought to life by an exhibition of prints, created by Brussels-based artist Joslin Towler.
