Art Basel’s Post

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GLAZING FOR MUSEUMS Architectural Glazing for Museums must be specified in order to achieve the right outcome when starting a building or restoration project, as glazing affects the performance and use of the space as well as the user experience. Usually, these exhibition spaces are big, open buildings with lots of traffic that alter and develop according to the space. Glazing components are typically seen in transitional areas, on roofs, and around artwork that is protected. Click here to read the rest of the guide! https://lnkd.in/eFZTWJ6K

A conversation about the innovative designs and collaborations shaping the future of museums, galleries, and studios:

I have recently published two articles. The first one is an exhibition review for "Beyond: Tadao Ando and Art" at Curator: The Museum Journal. In this paper, I tried to explore whether an exhibition about a well-known architect is a challenge or opportunity. This exhibition at HEM was certainly pleasant but also reveals that big name's exhibition is quite tricky. The other one is about Chinese rural revitalization through art at International Journal of Arts Management. This interesting case study of Qingtian reveals a different project approach, which contains a well-balanced stakeholder management. The entire community and its relationship to the arts is continuously observed. #TadaoAndo #ArchitectureExhibition #Qingtian #RuralDevelopment https://lnkd.in/gK2BFgAD https://lnkd.in/gEjcHvSZ

Saterday last day of our exhibition  ‘Brutal Utilism’at Gallery Neck of the Woods in RotterdamFriday and Saturday  13:00 - 17:00artists:Susanne Albrecht (DU)Art van Triest (NL)Mirjam Berloth (NL)Lisbeth Parisius (DK/NL)Leen Van DierenDonck (NL)Lieven de Beek (BE)Paul Vinken (NL)Jeroen Arians (NL)Adress:Heer Bokelweg 1573032 AD Rotterdam  Brutal Utilism: Revealing the material and questioning the utilisation. What is the use? What is it made of?The undressing of the facade. Inside and out. How is it constructed and for whom is it made to inhabit? Art and architecture; A brutal and logical marriage.

"According to the exhibition, many Brutalist buildings “face widespread public aversion” and are dubbed as “ugly” structures globally. However, there is simultaneously a growing recognition of their cultural value, sparking preservation efforts. In fact, the exhibition explores the options these structures are left with, be it renovation or demolition, and the challenges accompanying these decisions." Brutalism enthusiasts and critics alike should visit our latest exhibition, Capital Brutalism! Learn more about it in this article from Arch Daily.

I value how this show innovatively highlights the physical relationship to interior design.

If you've watched any of the Olympics, you've surely seen the Eiffel Tower onscreen. Did you know that it was built for the 1889 World Exhibition and that vocal artists and architects opposed its construction, many sheerly because they didn't want to look at it? Some made public apologies after it was built. https://lnkd.in/eVbJcpZh Are people predisposed to believe any new project will distract from what exists? Something to think about next time you speak out against housing, public works, or other construction. Or if you sit on a dais weighing such feedback.

GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, USA (1983) https://lnkd.in/esSAhwYC This proposal revitalizes the city's downtown area by reusing a distinguished, but now vacant, former government building and by adapting a number of abandoned or underused neighboring structures for additional cultural functions. The main 1908 Beaux-Arts building is upgraded to meet codes and programmatic requirements. A relocation of the entrance from the closed side of the U-shaped building to the open court-yard establishes a direct physical relationship between the museum and its surroundings while creating a single, unified entrance. Covering the court-yard, a translucent inclined plane of stairs has an opening at its center that leads to the Grand Foyer which is a shared space for the different departments. Water descends slowly and evenly from the top of the stairway along a channel carved into the plane, leaving a clear pedestrian path for those walking up the stairs. This water is, in fact, the very water used for the air-conditioning system. In this way, the need for an unsightly cooling tower has been eliminated and this silent cascade becomes the focal point of the city's newest public space.
