“The exhibition design by Stanton Williams brings clarity and focus to what must have been an unusually difficult show to install.”The Daily Telegraph

 

This is a bold and provocative exhibition intended to generate debate amongst its visitors and the wider public. Sexually explicit art from public and private art collections had been brought together by the curators to create a uniquely stimulating collection of objects from across the world and through the ages.

The design for Seduced aimed to maximise the potential of the double height space at the same time creating a sequence of intimate spaces for the objects.
