DMX Memorial Stage Set

Project Description

ARCH engineered, built, and installed a custom stage for the DMX Memorial held on April 24, 2021 at Barclays Center, Brooklyn. This “mission impossible” was started and completed within 72 hours—from design drawing and engineering drafts, to material orders and pick-ups, team collaboration planning, welding, packing, transit, installation, and breakdown.

All surfaces of our custom welded trapezoid-shaped stage and its rigged mirror-image canopy were wrapped in stretched fabric for projection mapping on all sides. The memorial opened with video projection across both top and bottom surfaces of the staging in its stacked position. As choral voices began to echo through the space, the top canopy portion rose slowly to reveal a 60+ person choir + band. Video projection on each of the 8 surfaces of the stage construction, each 64’x20’, complemented the angelic voices on stage throughout the event.

We are in awe of ourselves on this one and thank our partners who went above and beyond to make this happen at Lenoble Lumber, Rosebrand, Sunbelt Rentals, Dynamic Productions, Mind the Gap, and Dutchess Metal Supply.
