NAM JUNE PAIK MUSEUM SEOUL KOREA
In a word, our concept can be described as a laboratory conjugated with
a walk-on exhibit. Boundaries are necessarily fluid, attributions of functions
unstable, but always calibrated for successive visitors, guest artists,
and exhibitions. The similar, but always varied, volumes on which the building
appears to rest, provide in fact spaces for diverse visual and sculptural
installations. These volumes appear as solids left over after the main platform
of the building has been opened up to the passage of visitors, air, light
and sound. Thanks to the overall character of the site, extending as it
does into a gentle valley with open and wooded areas, our project suggests
a variety of promenades that cut through the building on all levels, bisecting
quiet spaces, fascinating “funnels” of light and alcoves of
darkness. Raising expectations and confronting visitors with works of multifaceted
nature along the way, this itinerary will never become predictable.
