WHO WE ARE

Monumental Culture Company was formed in 2018 by a small group consisting of curators, project managers, designers, and artists. Our core consists of a curator and project manager from New Zealand, a curator and educator from Shanghai, and a graphic designer from Shanghai. Other members of Monumental are 2D/3D designers and business administrators. Between them, the General Director and the Director International Projects of Monumental have a combined 35 years of experience in exhibitions and international cultural exchanges.

WHAT WE DO

Monumental was formed to provide a myriad of services to artists, museums, and collectors. We can take on as much or as little as the client requires, from managing an entire project - including curatorial services, research and development, writing and translation, construction and installation – to working to an artist’s brief for the design and manufacture of an object. We have worked on solo artist projects at the Venice Biennale and we have overseen multi-artist projects with 57 participating artists from around the world covering 6500 square meters across multiple sites in Wuhan, China.
Our strengths are that we have strong connections with multiple service providers across the China and internationally, a strong in-house group of designers, project managers with a depth of experience in exhibitions and international projects, and our team has several bilingual speakers.

OUR SERVICES

Monumental provides a wide range of services tailored to your project needs. We have instigated stand along exhibitions, requiring project development, curatorial services, writing, translation, 2D/3D design and production, sponsor development, and artist liaison. We have overseen large, multi-artist projects, providing curatorial services, writing, translation, 3D design, and artist liaison. And we have overseen smaller projects where only design work, writing services, translation, or manufacturing is required. The scale of the project is not a prerequisite.
As a general guide, Monumental can provide curatorial services, project management, art advisory services, 2D and 3D design, web design, writing, translation, manufacturing services, merchandise and installation services. If you’re unsure about the scope of your project, just get in touch.
Essentially, we do art.
