Project Description:

This small museum in Zürich proposal is about the production of atmosphere in a complex and two way set of relations between the art object and viewer.
The site is enclosed within the museum’s walls and transformed into a birch garden. The building opens up to the new garden and offers plain facades to the exterior. The museum combines five moments which are to be experienced in different ways and orders. The tower as a gate and entrance to the museum. The corridor in-between interior and exterior. The birch garden around which the museum evolves, and from which you get glimpses of the exhibition through the windows and moments of rest. The two parallel exhibition spaces that offers an enfilade effect sequenced in bigger and smaller exhibition spaces by a suite of small dark cabinets that were specifically designed for precisely curated cubist and abstract works of art from the moma’s 1936 ‘Cubism and Abstract Art’ exhibition.
