Team

The creative energy of the IGL HAUT + von GROTE team is born of the different professional and biographical backgrounds of our employees. Complex assignments require complex teams. Our employees come from a wide and varied range of professional backgrounds such as classic museum work or setting the stage for brand identities, cultural-historical research or communications design, mediating scientific knowledge or lighting and media design, creating texts, images and sounds or designing rooms – but no matter where their experience lies, they share a will to work together in challenging projects that can only be realised jointly. Perspectives that change and develop as part of an ongoing process and ideas for solutions in the individual disciplines lay strong foundations for fruitful cooperation and the success of the project.

Besides its permanent team members, IGLHAUT + von GROTE boasts a large network of specialists that can be approached for cooperation whenever necessary.

Stefan Iglhaut  – Exhibition Designer and Cultural Manager

Stefan Iglhaut, exhibition organiser and cultural manager, has been working since the beginning of the nineties at the interface where art, science and the public merge. As the curator of international exhibition projects and project manager of major events like the theme park at world exhibition EXPO 2000, he operates in the space where art, cultural history, science history and brand communications meet. He brings together project development teams from all disciplines of content and design whose working style is marked by a holistic, networked and diversity-rich approach.
High content quality and visual imaginativeness are inseparable for Stefan Iglhaut. His editorial and publication activities have brought forth books, catalogues and electronic publications which deal, in particular, with the boundary and cross-over regions between science, art, media and society. He acts as a lecturer both in Germany and abroad.

Gesa von Grote  – Architect and Scenographer

Dipl.– Ing. Gesa von Grote is an architect and scenographer. She is responsible for the artistic direction and coordination of the design team. Her design philosophy, which she sees as the process of taking changing contexts and, from these, developing new perspectives, is something that evolved while working in architecture offices and during many years of collaboration with museums and companies. This context-focused approach gives birth to design interpretations of themes from cultural history and science as well as brand contents within spaces that tell stories to the onlooker, rendering these accessible to a wide audience. In Gesa von Grote’s presentation concepts, the surrounding space, exhibition architecture, graphics, media and object world are intricately bound up with one another. The design process under her direction means seeking a balance and occupying the role of intermediary between communicative impact and practical requirements. This is complemented
by the joy she experiences in conception, project controlling and management.
