Abstract:

Il presente elaborato analizza il complesso sistema dell’arte contemporanea, focalizzandosi sul ruolo svolto dalle gallerie private. Analizzando i singoli attori che animano il mercato dell’arte (artisti, collezionisti, gallerie, case d’asta, musei, ecc.) e la sua articolata struttura, è possibile comprendere la centralità delle gallerie d’arte contemporanea, al fine di un corretto funzionamento del sistema. Considerando la crisi provocata dalla pandemia di Coronavirus, l’elaborato riporta problematiche e dati in riferimento alla situazione delle gallerie. Dall’analisi del mercato delle galler

Abstract:

For my thesis I explored the idea of the mask in relation to architecture. For my project I designed an art gallery located in Georgetown Washington DC which is composed of three layers: a structural layer, an environmental casing, and an outer layer. Theoretical parallels are drawn between the outer layer of the gallery and what is commonly referred to as a mask. Additionally, I explored the interaction between the layers of the gallery. The distinguishing characteristics of the building include the tri-facade mask, the unique spaces in between the gallery's layers, the glass system, the mask

Abstract:

Most art galleries around the world look the same; a large white room with a few artworks placed far apart. This standard way of designing art spaces together with locating them almost exclusively in the city centers makes them both physically and culturally distant for many people. This project aims to explore other ways of displaying art to make it accessible to more people through small architectural interventions. It is an exploration about the relation between space the body and the object. A prototype for a mobile art gallery has been built as a testing device.

The site chosen for this thesis project is located in downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. It consists of a 30'x110' infill lot and an alley running parallel to it. An initial desire to blur the boundary between the alley and the proposed building led to a study of the potential of parallel planes overlapped along the shared border. Representation of these planes in two dimensions allowed almost simultaneous perceptions of multiple spatial and geometrical configurations among them. The architectural consequences of this phenomenon became the main subject of inquiry. Exploration through silkscreen p

There is a variety of theoretical perspectives on dementia that encompass the biological, psychological, and social effects of the disease on the wellbeing of PWD. Visual arts may be an appropriate way of addressing some of the challenges that PWD face by providing a means of ameliorating some of their cognitive, social, and psychological difficulties.

Abstract:

This practice-led research project investigates ways of challenging contemporary notions of placelessness through the production and installation of site-specific artworks within art gallery spaces. By focusing on the material, architectural, atmospheric and institutional conditions specific to art gallery spaces, and producing artworks that may reveal, expose and illuminate these conditions, the project aims to explore alternatives to the production of artwork in one place and its exhibition in another, and to the use of the art gallery as a ‘non-place’.

Abstract:

Within contemporary cultural climates there has been a significant instrumentalised focus on the role of museums and galleries in the promotion of positive mental health and well-being. The emotional and psychological components embedded within such aspirations however present a number of fluid and intangible challenges that require in-‐depth research if deeper understanding of such processes and claims are to take place. My research addresses philosophies, strategies, and practicalities through searching for a better understanding of individual encounters with paintings in gallery settings.

Abstract:

This thesis addressed the three-dimensional Art Gallery Problem (3D-AGP), a version of the art gallery problem, which aims to determine the number of guards required to cover the interior of a pseudo-polyhedron as well as the placement of these guards. This study exclusively focused on the version of the 3D-AGP in which the art gallery is modelled by an orthogonal pseudo-polyhedron, instead of a pseudo-polyhedron. An orthogonal pseudopolyhedron provides a simple yet effective model for an art gallery because of the fact that most real-life buildings and art galleries are largely orthogonal in

How can modern architecture closely refer back to historical architecture without copying or making flat imitations?

The red roof acts as a screen where imprints of 3-dimensional fragments from different historical eras are projected. The building has an extroverted outside that echoes of the architectural history of the city of Sundsvall,

It is widely acknowledged that without volunteer guides, or docents, most museums and galleries would find it impossible to offer education programmes as they are known today.

The literature on gallery education emphasizes docent "management", or the methods used to recruit, train, and supervise docents.

Whiteness, as citizenship, was normalised and glorified in the state’s museums.
