Arbors of Art: Eleven rooms where paintings reside

Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art

Finished

Artists

Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Rembrandt van Rijn et al.

The Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art is made up of 11 distinct spaces, each with their own particular atmosphere, each calculated to suit various works within the collection. From the arched ceiling and carpeted floor of the impressionism room, to the smallest room for the works of 17th century Dutch master Rembrandt, the modern white cube space for early 20th century abstract painting and other carefully adjusted spaces for the collection of surrealist and dada works, each exhibition room is designed to provide the best viewing environment for the work which it hosts. The museum’s most famed work, the Seagram Murals of Rothko are also displayed in a uniquely constructed space consisting of 7 walls, one for each painting. With the architecture playing such an important role in the reception of the works this exhibition attempts to draw closer attention to this close relationship and reawaken a sense of spatial as well as visual art.
