This is really the rekindling of a Romance. In 1995 Tangram was the general contractor who built out the the then new American Museum of the Moving Images Core Exhibition, "Behind The Screen". Designed and built as the vision of Rochelle Slovin the founding director of the museum, "Behind the Screen" immerses visitors in the creative process of making moving images. From nineteenth-century optical toys to video games, it features over 1,400 artifacts, as well as an array of interactive experiences, audio-visual material, and artworks. For the Museum’s grand reopening, Behind the Screen has been dramatically reconceived and upgraded.
Tangram was selected to renew and refresh the presentation of the exhibits, reuniting with the original architect
Ali C. Hocek.
Over the past four months we have worked diligently to work in concert with Museum staff to complete the renovation. Along with the new expansion wing, designed by
Thomas Leeser, the Museum is a fantastic destination and should not be missed.
