Long before the first guest set foot into the gallery to marvel at Hubert Roguski's 'CityWood: Metropolis', a symphony of preparation and diligence played out behind the scenes. Bringing Roguski's awe-inspiring cityscape artworks to the forefront required more than just hanging pieces on a wall. It was an orchestration of art, space, and narrative.

Every element in the exhibition space was purposefully chosen to accentuate the intricate details of Roguski's laser-cut city maps. From the warm, focused lighting that highlighted the layers of each piece, to the spatial arrangement that ensured each map could be appreciated in its full splendor, the setup was a task executed with meticulous precision.

Each city map, with its unique wooden layers, was handled with utmost care. Ensuring that they were securely and perfectly aligned required a delicate balance of patience and expertise. The positioning of the artwork also played a significant role in narrating the artist's perspective and guiding the viewers through the collection seamlessly.
