Space

Although I have included a post on gallery display I thought I would include observations from a recent gallery exhibition in Prague.

The Museum Kampa is the Museum of European modern Art.

My visit there highlighted display techniques including scale, grouping and space.

Some images are included but some areas of the museum prohibited photography.

Works varied in size and scale - large items were hung on clean magnolia walls and had lots or room around then in order for the viewer to see the work in isolation.

Smaller works were often grouped together and hung in a linear or grid format with matching mounts and frames - whilst the work varied, the display method added some cohesion.

Sculture was rarely placed in the middle of the room in a random pattern, but was aligned with the wall (there was room to manoeuvre around the pieces, but they followed a path around the room)

There was an abundance of light, both natural and spot, none of the work was overshadowed either by another piece of by a lack of light to view properly.

The building itself was contemporary and glass with an exposed staircase - a little scary actually! which added to the excitement of viewing unusual modern pieces.
