The Floating Gallery : Architecture Information

8 Sep 2009 The Floating Gallery, London Design: Margot Krasojevic The gallery warps space using folded surfaces to create a continuous ever-changing environment in which the art is viewed. London as a moving background alters perceptions of the gallery, blurring the edges between static and non-static, defining a series of projected spaces that simulate the existing physicality by using the boat as a lens through which to view London. The exhibited pieces are the only focal points anchoring the scheme into a programmatic context instead of a static physical environment. The gallery suspends the viewer from their physical reality. Walkways mimic the motion of a water vortex moving around anchored objects, the surfaces in section puncture the upper deck flooding light into the gallery spaces below to create a floating space similar to being underwater. A suspended reality. The Floating Gallery London images / information from Margot Krasojevic 080909
