X Museum is a private museum founded by Michael Xufu Huang and Theresa Tse designed by TEMP.It is designed to become a new cultural place for the younger generation in the city of Beijing. Contemporary art is constantly evolving in our time of endless information and their complex intersections. Howshould oneshape our culturalspaces in response to such times of uncertainty?
X美术馆设计旨在成为北京年轻一代的新文化场所。当代艺术正在我们这个信息爆炸且相互交织的时代中持续发展。面对各种不确定的因素,应当如何去塑造我们的文化空间?
TEMP aims to rethink how art spacescould be imaginedfirstby asking the most basic questions as in how a painting should be hung on a wall. Custom made terracotta bricks are extruded with horizontal slots to which metal clips can be installed to hang artworks. Paintings, installations, projectors, and even white walls could be hung onto thiswall system. There is an overflow of whiteand concrete box museums. X Museum offers a newer way of installing and showing artworks.
美术馆设计以“如何将艺术品悬挂在墙上”这一最基本的问题为出发点,TEMP重新思考了艺术空间的可能形态。借助定制的赤陶砖构件,金属材质的夹子得以被置入墙壁的缝隙,使绘画、装置、投影仪甚至白色墙壁都可以被悬挂在这个墙面系统上。这种做法使得X美术馆超越了寻常的白色方盒子空间,为观者带来一种全新的布置和展示艺术品的方式。
