“The Shape of Time” focuses on the Met’s Oceanic art collection and presents the vibrant, diverse cultures of Oceania. Divided into three main sections — Voyages, Ancestors and Time — the exhibition features more than 110 exceptional works of art spanning the past four centuries.
The Met’s Oceanic art collection, covering the arts and cultures of the Pacific Islands, comprises more than 2,800 works reflecting the region’s rich history of creative expression and innovation. Since joining the Met’s permanent collection, these Oceanic treasures had never left New York. “The Shape of Time” therefore marks the first time in approximately half a century that these works have travelled outside the United States, with MAP honoured to be the first stop on this historic journey.
BGL Audiovisual delivered the audiovisual systems integration supporting the exhibition content. The space features 15-inch and 32-inch monitors controlled by HIVE players, together with ambient sound throughout the route configured through three Brightsign players.
