The art box explores the notion of space within a space
An outer open web frame 12000 x 24000 x 12000mm high composed of rectangular white fibre reinforced plastic sections provides a platform and enclosure for the free standing art box. The enclosure provides various functions:-
filters the inner and outer and spaces
provides a space for related outdoor exhibitions or live performance
explores scale within objects
The art box cube 5000 x 5000 x 4000mm high is positioned within the enclosure. A simple rectangular gallery space is accessed through a pivoting panel. The external wall faces are mirror polished to reflect the surrounding landscape. The internal wall finishes are painted, the floor is finished in white resin and the ceiling is a transluscent suspended light tray. The services are organised to one side of the box. To facilitate concerts, lectures, films or exhibitions one panel of the box opens as a second pivot panel to expose the gallery providing a stage enclosure or film screen together with related services.
A carpet is used to provide a formal relationship between the two components and to provide a link to the outside world. Composed of separate 3600 x 3600 mm square panels it is raised off the deck and ground using adjustable pedestals. The carpet is constructed in a transluscent panel resin fitted with a smart slab LED system. The LEDs are linked to a computer programme which monitor and respond to movement cycles within the art box
