데미안 허스트 작품의 개념과 표현 기법을 적용한 미술관 설계

(Gallery Design using CharacTeristics and Expressions of Damien Hirst)

In the space of art exhibition, audience simultaneously experiences the space of construction and the space of art. But the complex relationship of these two spaces is shown in the ‘white cube’. ‘White’ and ‘cube’ are formed as a bright, monochromic space and it refers to mobile exhibition space with free surface. It appeared at the beginning of 20th Century and it has been presented as the reality of representative exhibition space until this day. The space of construction excludes art pieces and only represent art gallery whereas the space of art excludes exhibition space and only analyzes art pieces. The objective of the research is to question about the context of a white cube which was previously mentioned in the existing art exhibition space and to examine the features established in the initial phase from a complex point of view. As a result, the research seeks to propose decontextualized exhibition space with today’s rapidly changing features of exhibition space. Through this, the modern artist of the U.K., Damien Hirst has been using the skull, corpse of dead animals, tools, and medical instruments to express scientific approach in his artworks to show human beings’ psychological inconsistency, desire, and false consciousness. Through this, the research examines various references related to Hirst to derive features such as contradicting circulation of life and process, the dualism of science and minimalism, the ambivalent system of impact and romance. As a result of analyzing his works from 1984, the research found that the artist used three methodologies: frame technique for separation, pattern technique of contingency and everyday life, and irony technique of aesthetic sublimity and illusion.
As a result, the researcher applied the above methodologies and proposed Damien Hirst gallery located in Jebudo (Jebu Island). Besides, the irony technique was made as the main concept to consider various local features. The researcher designed an art gallery that changes with the changes of tide (rising tide and ebb), sunset, and falcon rock. Four local features have been applied on the land through the ambivalent relationship between sunset and darkness, dilemma of nature and artificiality, ambivalent allegory of surface and reverse side, and contradicting paradox of reality and falsehood. It seeks to make the art gallery more special to audience which provides new experience and cultural value.
It is anticipated that the research will be able to help expressive technique shown in Damien Hirst’s art pieces to have different significance of value creation so that the art gallery can become a space where space and experience can coexist by unifying art pieces and space which does not remain only as a white cube art gallery.
