for the Beam Me Up exhibition from 15.01 to 14.03.2010
Rethinking space
by Morger + Dettli Architects
No structural changes will be made to the exhibition room. In order to make the spatial components uniform, the entire exhibition room, including the floor, will be painted white.
The room's coordinates will be established.
Ropes will be stretched to establish connections between elements within the room. They define the room anew, and create partial rooms. The spatial dimensions are altered. Spatial zones are networked with one another.
The ropes engage with the network-based nature of the exhibition, with projects on digital space, and with the virtual networking between places.
The network's significance extends beyond the exhibition room. It connects the inside with the outside, and broaches the boundless isolation of spaces we witness today.
The room's ropes react to the works within the exhibition. They create a network between the room and the work. The alterations to the room lead one through the exhibition. The ropes are made of translucent plastic, allowing room for the viewer to make associations.
Through minimal intervention, the room can be experienced in new ways.
