Exploring modern art and design for a unique network of contemporary institutions

Dia Art Foundation is a cultural institution founded in 1974 based in New York with two galleries (Dia: Beacon and Dia: Chelsea). It is committed to advancing, realising, and preserving the work of a focused group of renowned artists of the 1960s and 1970s. Keepthinking was chosen to lead the design and development for their revamped website, with the Qi CMS used for collection management, as well as web content management.

Dia Art Foundation was in need of a new online presence and platform for the preservation and future growth of the organisation. The main goal of the website was to highlight Dia’s single-artist exhibition program, which can take the form of exhibitions, site-specific projects or performance series, among others.

Exhibitions & Projects

A variety of filters caters for the various venues and types of exhibitions organised by Dia in New York, as well as other locations that belong to the Dia network, such as the Dan Flavin Institute or the Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson, in Utah. We created a versatile structure of content arranged in separate modules rather than a linear path, allowing Dia to build and arrange each page to their appropriate needs.

Exhibitions & Projects

Calendar

A list of activities with added functionality for purchasing tickets and relevant access information, as well as the ability to add Dia events to your own personal calendar.

Collection

For the collection, we realised filtering and sorting options as well as advanced searches. The user can choose to see only what is currently 'on view', as well as being connected to the exhibition an artwork may be included in, the artist(s) involved and specific details about the artwork.
