Yumin Art Nouveau Collection
Jeju-do, South Korea
Project Featured on Jan 26, 2018
JAC STUDIOS completes a poetic exhibition with Nordic influences for the Yumin Art Nouveau Collection in the Genius Loci by architect Tadao Ando.
Danish practice JAC STUDIOS has created an exhibition using glass as the principle material to transform the interior and welcome areas of the Genuis Loci building by architect Tadao Ando on Phoenix Jeju, off the coast of the South Korean Peninsula.
The Yumin Art Nouveau Collection is JAC STUDIOS first project in South Korea. Phoenix Island is dominated by the volcano Hallasan, and the Tadao Ando museum building ‘Genius Loci’ literally frames this ever-present view. The dialogue between this powerful landscape and the exposed concrete of the Tadao Ando building creates an elegant yet somber setting for a permanent exhibition of delicate Art Nouveau glass.
The exhibition features glass work produced in the Art Nouveau movement between 1870 and 1940 by the French artist Émile Gallé, one of the major forces in the French Art Nouveau movement as well as work by the brothers Daum.
JAC STUDIOS, the studio behind the award winning exhibition for the newly opened Wadden Sea Centre by Dorte Mandrup Architects worked closely with Art Nouveau experts including Didier Laugault from the ‘Chambre Nationale des Experts Specialises’ to create the exhibition. The construction was completed by local architects Chang Creative Inc.
Quote from Johan Carlsson, founder of JAC STUDIOS:
“The architecture by Tadao Ando plays a magnificent setting for the exhibition. The architecture is in itself a piece of art and as a visitor one cannot avoid being touched by its beauty. The new museum is respectful but also challenges the context of the architecture. The introduction to the exhibition begins already from the approach to the Yumin Museum. The signage on the facade reflects the horizon of the sea and with each hour the patterns and colours on the facade change with the weather, each day is unique.”
The exhibition consists of themed designs for three exhibition rooms, a cross axis hallway, lounge area, welcome area and façade installation:
Welcome area and façade
The welcome area is designed to form a powerful contrast from the existing concrete structure with the use of dichroic glass. The glass used in the signage of the façade and the ticket pavilion creates a play with colour, forming dynamic reflections and light conditions throughout the course of the day as well as mirroring
the horizon.
Hallways
The cross axis hallway contains display cases custom designed to exhibit specific artefacts telling stories of the history and techniques used in the Art Nouveau pieces. Burnished brass creates an accent to the smoked oak plinth within the vitrines carrying the artworks and forming a strong contrast to lightness of the glass.
Inspiration gallery
The inspiration gallery forms a meditative experience where visitors are invited to sit and gaze at the floral pieces at low level on a tatami mat allowing close access to the artefacts. The lighting design guides the viewer and sets a therapeutic mood with a play upon reflections created by the stucco treated walls. Moving visuals help create a serenity to the space with a focus on sky, grass and flowers that reference inspiration for the Art Nouveau movement.
Masterpiece gallery
The 1902 mushroom lamp is the pivotal work of Emile Galle. Placed at the centre of a circular room in a tall narrow display case, the lamp works in breathtaking contrast to the light washed walls. The design ensures one focus with one remarkable story creating an experience of intensity and magnitude.
Peak gallery
The framing of the horizon is a characteristic to the exterior of the building and the Peak gallery reflects this with a long narrow glowing display case built into the wall. With only one item on display, the display references the awe inspiring framing of the volcano. Additional shorter inset display cases wrapped in glass and mirror planes allow visitors to peek through the wall and frame the exhibition.
Lounge
The lounge provides a contrasting aesthetic and atmosphere to the gallery spaces with a selection of illuminated lamps in wall mounted showcases. The lighting creates kaleidoscopic colours that tell the story of the light spectrums enclosed in the pieces. A large platform at the centre of the room contains a singular striking showcase placed on a bed of lava stones that references the volcanic context. The space is furnished with custom furniture in burnished brass and smoked oak with a long bench that allows for a small library space and individual tables for reading.
