Studio Notes Information
Studio Notes is where Tommy Balogh shares the ongoing story behind each installation. The ideas, the process and the places the work has travelled to. Rather than a single portfolio page, it’s an evolving record of everything happening in and around the studio, updated as new projects, residencies and exhibitions take shape.
Each entry sits within one of a few categories. Some posts sit under Installations, covering the making of individual light art installations. From early concept sketches through to the finished piece in situ at a venue. Others fall under Information, offering a closer look at the ideas, materials and techniques behind Tommy’s practice, for anyone curious about how light, colour and perception come together in his work.
There’s also a running thread of Exhibition News, documenting where the work has been shown, from private VIP installations to public gallery presentations, alongside notes on Past Exhibitions and previews of what’s coming next. For those wanting to understand the person behind the practice, the About category traces Tommy’s twenty-year journey – how a fascination with light became a full-time exploration of art, space and atmosphere.
Studio Notes exists because the work rarely stays still. A single installation might begin as a private commission, evolve through a residency, and later resurface as part of a public exhibition or collaboration. Recording that journey here means venues, collectors, curators and collaborators can see not just the finished piece, but the thinking and craft that shaped it.
It’s also where the wider identity of Light Up The Room comes through most clearly. Not just as a leasing offer for venues, but as an ongoing creative practice with its own momentum. New entries are added as work progresses, so this page is worth revisiting for anyone following Tommy Balogh’s installations, exhibitions and the studio’s next steps.
Whether you’re a venue owner scoping out a future installation, a collector following the studio’s output, or simply curious about the process, Studio Notes offers an ongoing window into that world. Tommy updates it as work progresses rather than on a fixed schedule, so entries appear in step with real milestones – a new residency, a completed commission, a fresh exhibition opening its doors.
