It has now been a week since my visit to the White Cube and I have had time to think about what is it that this "spatial concern" could arise to and be? I feel like the theory and written element has lots of angles, sources and brings a rich dialogue about gallery spaces and their future but what is the practice about [considering that both should fully integrate] reading "Inside the white cube" made me consider challenging the notion of the white cube itself and with recent research in identifying gallery spaces required [White cubes, Black boxes, Grey bays] could the spatial intervention be a conceptional led project that goes out to design and make a space that can become somewhat transformable?
A word the came up the other day was morphology noun the study of the forms of things. An interchangeable gallery space that allows for the contemporary artists to exhibit wall or floor mounted work, multimedia/projection or a space for performance based works? One single space that morphs? now to place this back into some form of context the space would be a cub.
Is there however the potential for two proposals? one generically looking into this morphological gallery space and another that considers the placement of this new gallery space within the white gallery? A cube inside a cube? this is when being considered the original idea of Jay Joplings' 1993 first white cube gallery in Duke Street.
