The Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery is seeking proposals for the provision of Blavatnik L2 South Gallery Re-design to Create a Flexible and Sustainable Exhibition Space at Tate Modern. The estimated contract value is £250,000.
The Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery: Blavatnik L2 South Gallery Re-design - Creating a Flexible and Sustainable Exhibition Space at Tate Modern. Procurement reference: BIP916758363
Last financial year, a large proportion of Tate Modern's Curatorial budget was spent on alternations of the gallery spaces, mainly dismantling and re-building walls, to suit the layout requirements for each exhibition. This practise also contributes to one of the largest portions of the carbon footprint generated by exhibitions production. Tate Modern would like to turn this challenge into an opportunity, where we are taking advantage of a completely empty space to design a new gallery that could be adapted for multiple exhibition projects in a low cost and circular way. This project will commission specialised designers to design a set of modular, movable and re-configurable walls to use in Blavatnik L2 South Gallery. This would allow us to respond to project-specific spatial needs by achieving multiple layouts with flexible setworks, making substantial efficiencies in construction costs, materials, labour and waste.

The deadline for submission of proposals is 7 February 2025.
