A working space for curators, exhibition designers and installation teams. Arrange works inside a model of the actual gallery, test the hang and turn decisions into clear installation documents.
Built around the practical needs of Instytut Fotografii Fort, including the challenge of preparing an exhibition with artists and partners in different countries.

From the first checklist to the final hang.
Practical tools for decisions that matter in the room.
Drop in artwork images and match them with a CSV or JSON checklist. Keep the title, artist, year, medium, dimensions, wall label and internal notes with each work. Plan with an “image to come” placeholder while material is still being gathered.
Move between the floor plan and a walk through the rooms. Drag works onto walls, enter their dimensions and set the centre height and distance from the wall’s left edge. Check how the sequence feels from a visitor’s viewpoint.
Try the crop, the frame and the space around the image before making production decisions. See the framed dimensions as well as the image size, and check effective print resolution at the chosen scale.
Add temporary exhibition walls, turn them, set their dimensions and work with both faces. Explore circulation, door openings and sightlines. Use the movable 180 cm scale figure to judge how the installation relates to a person.
Duplicate a hang to try another arrangement, start an empty version, or keep several exhibitions for the same gallery. Switch between options and use undo and redo while refining a decision.
Write the spoken passage for each work, arrange the guide’s stop order and save viewpoints through the exhibition. Preview the guide while developing the hang, then export its text for recording or voice production.
Place GLB works on the floor or suspend them from the ceiling; set dimensions, rotation, mounting height and a plinth where needed. Video works can be placed in the exhibition with sound controls. In galleries with lighting controls enabled, adjust lamp position, aim, beam, warmth and brightness, plus time of day.
Working with your venue. The gallery model is prepared from a survey or suitable 3D data as part of setup. Artwork sizes and positions use real-world dimensions. Your confirmed survey and artwork measurements remain the reference for installation.
For the artist, registrar, print studio
and the team installing the show.
| Take away | Format | What it gives your team |
|---|---|---|
| Wall elevations | Scaled wall drawings with the works, dimensions, distances, centre heights and bottom-edge heights for the installation team. | |
| Exhibition checklist | PDFCSV | Artwork details, image and framed sizes, presentation, room, wall and position. The CSV also carries fields such as effective resolution, descriptions, caveats and notes for further work in a spreadsheet. |
| Pictures of the space | PNG | The current view without editing tools, at 2× screen dimensions or the print-size 4× option. Useful for discussing an arrangement with artists and colleagues. |
| Audio-guide script | JSONMarkdown | Ordered stops and spoken text: structured JSON for voice production, plus a readable .md script for editorial review or recording. |
| Portable exhibition | .vernissage | The exhibition document and image files in one package. Pass a version to a colleague, archive a hang, or reopen it as a separate exhibit. |
Planning edits are saved in the browser you are using. Export a .vernissage file when you want to move that version to another device or send it to a colleague. A hosted visitor exhibition is published separately, so the team can review the hang before it opens.
Once the exhibition is ready,
turn the space into a virtual visit.
Visitors move through the gallery, choose where to pause and read the work’s label and description. The visitor view presents the exhibition without curator editing controls.
Saved viewpoints and ordered stops give the exhibition a guided sequence. Visitors can follow the tour or take over and find their own way.
Use the exhibition’s guide text with recorded narration where prepared, or a device voice. Text remains available alongside the spoken guide.
The current IFF preview is a clearly labelled demonstration collection, not a published IFF exhibition.
Tell us about the venue, the collection and the exhibition you are preparing. We can discuss the gallery model, the planning workflow and the visitor experience that follows.
