SXSW.
DISPLAYS.
ACTIVATIONS.

AAS makes it happen: custom built activations, immersive environments, displays and signage. We’ve worked with some of SXSW’s biggest clients over the past decade. Design, build, logistics, crew- we’ve got this.

Modular Trade Show Booth

Dsenyo Fair Trade
 
[Portable]

2014

 

DESIGN - FABRICATION - LOGISTICS

Dsenyo is an ethical-fashion brand and fair-trade gifts company with the goal of creating opportunities for hard-working African women. AAS was tasked with designing and constructing a custom, modular tradeshow booth to showcase the brand. The requirements: a modern, handmade aesthetic; lightweight, easy to assemble on site; and capable of travelling in a self-contained unit (we also fabricated custom travel crates!)

iTunes Festival - SXSW 2014

Austin City Limits Live
[SXSW Interactive + SXSW Music]
ACL Live at the Moody Theater

2014

 

LOGISTICS - ART INSTALLATION
 

As the fine art services vendor for Austin City Limits, AAS has been responsible for event-specific logistics and installations on numerous occasions. In preparation for the iTunes Festival and associated events, AAS carefully de-installed, inventoried, packed and stored (in our climate controlled art storage warehouse) over 300 artworks- the entirety of ACL’s displayed art collection. Once clear of the Festival, we returned the works to their exact original locations- as if nothing had ever happened!

Modular Trade Show Booth

Matr Boomie
 
[Portable]

2014

DESIGN - FABRICATION - LOGISTICS

Matr Boomie is a wholesale fair trade fashion and gifts collection. Recently re-branded, the client wanted their trade show presence to reflect the contemporary yet handcrafted feel of the new brand. AAS was contracted to design and fabricate a completely custom trade show booth. The challenge was to create a booth that reflected a handmade aesthetic, with modular booth functionality. AAS delivered a booth which can be fully disassembled into its accompanying crates and fully reassembled with no power tools- but completely avoids the look and feel of a pre-fab trade show booth.

SHFT is a multi-media, sustainability issues platform founded by film producer Peter Glatzer and actor-filmmaker Adrian Grenier. Austin Art Services was tapped to co-design and fabricate scenic display and exhibit elements for the 2013 SHFT SXSW Pop-up Gallery and WRECKROOM Records (Grenier's record label) Showcase. AAS was given guidelines to create a new environment within an existing venue that focused viewer’s attention on selections from SHFT's curated products and artworks- as well as their new app, Food Tripping. Utilizing re-purposed and recyclable materials, AAS adhered to SHFT's eco-vision and created transformative environments: art gallery, eco-product boutique and rock-out stage out of... recycled paper!

Capital Campaign:

Campaign to Make History

Briscoe Center for American History

 

University of Texas at Austin

2012 - 2015

DESIGN - FABRICATION - INSTALLATION

 

The Briscoe Center for American History tapped AAS to design and fabricate a visual display for the Campaign to Make History. The austere entryway to the Center was transformed into a bold signage point- with an 8’ x 30’ signage display wall gracefully arcing across the walkway. Inset photo panels of the Center's holdings illuminate the vast resources at the visitor's fingertips. A stand-alone video display kiosk explains the Center's development goals- and provides a point-of-contact for campaign contributions and further information.
