Frank Gehry - MARTa Herford

Birkhäuser Basel | pages 112 | 2005-05-06 | 7,7 MB

English, German

Located at the center of the German furniture manufacturing

industry, Marta, the latest European Museum by Frank O.

Gehry, opened in December 2004 to universal acclaim. Conceived

as a laboratory for redefining the relationship between art,

design, and industry, this Gehry masterwork houses art

galleries, a library, educational facilities, and conference

and cultural meeting rooms.While the gallery is, for Gehry,

an uncharacteristic neutral white cube, it is wrapped in a

series of bulging curvatures creating a dome that announces

his distinctive architectural signature. This book, which

contains previously unpublished material on the design and

construction of the museum, offers insight into the working

process of arguably the world's most famous architect, and

his ideas about the shifting boundaries between industry,

design, art, and architecture

Light for Arts Sake - Lighting for Artworks and Museum Displays

Light for Arts Sake - Lighting for Artworks and Museum Displays

Christopher Cuttle

Conservation scientists in museums and galleries have a clear understanding of the damage that light can inflict on an object, but what of the designers that create exhibitions to display these precious items? Light for Arts Sake provides a basis for a level of professional expertise for lighting practice in museums. 

Rather than portraying conservation and display as having diametrically opposed objectives, the central concept is that the interaction of light and art media is the source for both the visual experience and the degradation of the artwork. Optimal solutions derive from understanding and controlling the interaction process, and the need is for the level of understanding among lighting professionals to be brought closer to that found among conservation scientists.
