The Museum

​

In the Glasgow School of Art there is a room around the central staircase that used to serve as a museum for historical reference works. Over the years it lost this function and was converted into a gallery. A wall constructed of white-painted panels was placed in front of the original walls and the build in showcases. This intervention created a more or less neutral space within the historic building. The project The Museum is a 'mise-en-scène' that refers to the history of this space. Some of the many plaster casts of classical sculptures belonging to the art school are placed in the gallery where they were boxed in with white-painted panels. Parts of the sculptures project from the boxes.
