IN SEARCH OF A NEW EXHIBITION SPACE

Abstract

The buildings considered as raising the prestige and promoting cities are those related to culture. Their impact on urban life is undeniable, which is reflected in a continuous increase in the number of new museum buildings. Apart from places intrinsically linked with culture, which, as such, may be considered as standard - like museum, theatres or galleries - there also appear alternative places of development and promotion of cultural activities. Currently, among cultural spaces, with particular emphasis on exhibition places, it is possible to distinguish two directions of development. The first of those is a traditional one represented by museums and galleries and the other one is modified, represented by different, alternative spaces. Both directions are developing in parallel and are not mutually exclusive. Non-traditional exhibition places are worthy of particular attention. Their emergence is related to seeking new, sometimes surprising, methods of drawing attention to the exhibition. In the case of museums, especially in recent years, one can observe that both the museum architecture and collections presented there are equally perceived as exhibition space. It so happens, at times, that the quality of the exhibition space and its architecture is so significant that the presented exhibits pale in comparison. In the case of space initially designated for other purposes than exhibitions and currently used to that end, a unique, often surprising visual effect is achieved. Art transgressing the borders and entering alternative spaces makes exhibits interact with exhibition places and become an integral part of the exhibition itself.
