In this blog I am going to look through the Galleries' and the Museums' features that are useful for a presentation of an object (artefact), information, atmosphere.
When objects are placed on a pedestal, so they can be appreciated while being on the eye level of the visitors. Because an object is lifted from the ground, it makes people to question why is it on a pedestal? Then actually understand that the object was carefully designed and put on a pedestal to be appreciated. In the Design Museum ordinary things (things that we use in everyday life) are put on a pedestal. I think, the most important issue nowadays, in the age of technology and machinery, is that people take designed objects for granted without even thinking that all objects we are surrounded by are designed and made by people. Yes, machines build some of the things, but at the same time the machines were build by people. Bridges and buildings, massive and tiny objects, everything is man-made. I think it is important for people to understand that.
There was an exhibition in Victoria and Albert Museum where original sketches of such buildings as St Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben and London Bridge were presented to a viewer. One of rooms was commemorated to a new structure of King's Cross railway station. The space was presented through drawings, computer generated models and photos with different lighting, though different time of the day. One of the most interesting and strong features of the whole exhibition was a video that showed the building process of King's Cross station.
I think a new design should be very tactile. I think the new Design museum should celebrate hands, process of making and concepts of designed objects."The touch" should become the most important feature of the exhibition. Touch things to feel the texture, to feel the surface and the shape.
Visitors should see hands during the process of making objects. For example, a performance where professionals come to make things (chairs, plates, glasses) will be shown on screens on which the hands will be shown in every detail, depicting each movement. The museum should celebrate the beauty of hands, their flexibility, their incredible functionality. Here are some examples of art that can be shown in galleries. It reflects my concept of a future gallery and inspires me for future thinking.
