What is the ideal gallery space?
An exciting new book, Space: Architecture for Art, is essential reading for anyone concerned with contemporary art spaces. At a time when the distinctions between art and architecture are becoming increasingly blurred, the book brings architects, artists, curators and critics together to tease out some answers. This major publication includes a preface by Brian ODoherty, renowned author of Inside the White Cube.
In addition to in-depth discussions and analyses of different forms of gallery design, interviews with architects and curators explore the ideas behind the design and use of the gallery space. What do artists need? What do architects think they want? And what makes a satisfying visitor experience?
Space also includes a directory of contemporary art spaces in Ireland (with full contact listings and architects details), illustrating the discussions in the first part of the book, and making the volume of practical use to artists, architects, curators and visitors alike.
Space, edited by Gemma Tipton, is 272 pages long, and it is fully illustrated in colour. Space is available to order online at www.recirca.com/space, or through amazon.co.uk. We can invoice institutional purchasers.. For further information call CIRCA on 353 1 679 7388 or e-mail space@recirca.com.
