Gallowglass builds giant dome for Mexican showcase
Posted by
Event crewing firm Gallowglass assisted in the erection of ‘Encuentrate con Mexico’ at Potters Field Park on London’s South Bank, within sight of City Hall and the Shard. The giant dome encased a series of multi-format interactive experiences presenting Mexico’s archaeological sites, culture, creativity and gastronomy.
Gallowglass was hired by Spanish production company Mapp 3d, which created the show elements of the free-to-enter exhibition, taking visitors on a 45-minute journey during which they got to play with interactive touch screens, experience digital tours of Mexico’s streets and see Mexican art through advanced 3D technology.
The travelling exhibition, which is visiting Mexico’s major tourist markets to generate positive perceptions of the country as a vibrant, modern and sophisticated travel destination, has already visited Spain and China. In the UK it coincided with a state visit from Mexican President Peña Nieto.
