Chicago Art Institute



The Art Institute of Chicago evaluated their acoustical environment while designing a temporary exhibit for internationally acclaimed artist, Steve McQueen. They wanted to provide sufficient acoustic control in the exhibition hall without compromising the aesthetic vision of the artist. This exhibit featured fourteen audiovisual installations and was the first American museum survey exhibition of the artist’s work.




The Art Institute ordered four hundred Custom Acoustic Panels ranging in size from 14”x 48”x4” to 66”x 88”x 4” to install in McQueen’s exhibit space. The panels were manufactured at ATS Acoustics with over 850 yards of custom ordered gray fabric. The custom panels were mounted throughout the exhibit space.

The Art Institute team is extremely pleased with our ATS Acoustic Custom Panels. Larry Smallwood of the Art Institute of Chicago congratulated ATS on a, “job well done” and said that, “the Art Institute loved the look of the panels and appreciated the acoustical properties.”

These are pictures of my home theater room. I used five 24" x 36" ATS Acoustic panels- three on the back wall and two on the side wall. Thanks!
