January 2023
Since 2014, Markus Dohner Exhibition Design (owner, lead designer) contract exhibit design and planning for museums, libraries, and cultural venues. Past design clients: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art; Eskenazi Museum of Art, Indiana University; National Public Housing Museum, Chicago; the Field Museum; the Brinton Museum, Big Horn, Wyoming; Chinese American Museum of Chicago; MCA Chicago. From 2000 to 2014, staff designer in a variety of Chicago museums and cultural institutions.
Personal Statement: I’m an artist-designer practicing exhibition design, a very exciting and expanding field. My practice is centered on museums and cultural venues. I follow a hybrid practice of combining art and design disciplines simultaneously. I move easily from two-dimensionally based art/design to three-dimensional projects that utilize time elements and physicality within a compendium of perspectives. Teaching at the college level takes me out of my comfort zone and exposes me to different modes of art-making and meanings, which in the long run, helps to improve my business model and professional practice.
