The city is
the primordial place for the contemporary creative practices and should be a
reference in the design process of spaces for creative and cultural production.
In this way, every cultural space must be first comprehended as urban space.
Following
this concept, those spaces should be accessible not only as a place of culture
and education but as a place of encounter and the creation of new relations. In
the traditional museum there is a separation of spaces and roles that goes
against the potencial of contemporary art practices. This project introduces
the concept of the coexisting exhibition and production of art. This idea is
translated in the so called "Production Modules" included in the two
top rooms of six meters height, that together conform the largest enclosed
space of the museum. This "Production Modules" materialize and
potentiate the permanent changing aspect of contemporary art that now can be
presented as a process, not only as a “closed” artwork. Therefore, the
curatorial moment happens not after the “conclusion” of the work, but it’s made
with public presence and interaction.
