New chapter, same history. We recently installed cutting-edge AV equipment in Battle Abbey's upgraded cinema room — immersing visitors in the story of 1066 like never before.

A 5,000-year-old myth. Brought to life through projection, sound and light.

Chitra Ganesh's first major UK solo exhibition in a public institution has just opened at — drawing on the world's oldest recorded myth, the Sumerian story of Inanna's descent into the underworld.

A new large-scale animation, commissioned sculpture and site-specific wall drawing weave together into one immersive journey through the gallery. Epson laser projection, JBL surround sound and a custom-built screen bring Ganesh's imagery to life across archways, an oversized sculpted eye and hand.

We're proud to have designed and installed the AV infrastructure bringing this to life, as Exhibition Supporter alongside the Henry Moore Foundation.

ArtAV recently completed the AV installation for Listening All Night To The Rain by John Akomfrah at the Walker Art Gallery, continuing our work supporting the exhibition across its international journey.

This installation has evolved beautifully in every space it has inhabited, and seeing the work come together within the architecture and atmosphere of the Walker Art Gallery has been especially rewarding. We highly recommend visiting whilst its in the North of England.

What does your exhibition sound like?🔊

The right AV system doesn't just display art — it amplifies it. From perfectly synchronised multi-screen installations to spatial audio that pulls visitors deeper into the work, we design AV that becomes part of the experience.

We've done it for Tate, BALTIC, MoMA and more. We'd love to do it for you.
