During a two-month remodelling phase, comprehensives changes were made to the exhibition rooms of the recently opened Museum of Modern Art to redefine many aspects of the design.
For functional reasons a passageway linking the entrance hall to the temporary exhibition rooms was built, the `White Cube´ collaborated with the Austrian artist Heimo Zobernig.
In the MUMOK Factory a temporary cinema was installed. The Cupola Hall received a new lighting concept, and the MUMOK Lounge was installed in its gallery. The acoustics of the auditorium were improved, and all the exhibition rooms were subtly redesigned to create more space and rid them of smaller structures that visually disrupted the experience of visitors viewing the artworks.
As a result of the construction measures, we were able to design and implement additional exhibitions, including the exhibition ‘Public Rituals’ – video installations by young Polish artists and Kara Walker. The concepts were based on minimalist interventions and staging.
