O museu transparente - Fondation Cartier e Palais de Tokyo

Abstract

The present dissertation proposes to study the Transparent Museum, from the point of view of the Fondation Cartier and the Palais de Tokyo. The analysis, both literal and phenomenal, of the architectural (de)materialization of this diluent process, comes as a synthesis of the impact of overlapping and interpenetrating transparent layers. The contemporary art and society lost their modernist universal limits, in favor of the global heterogeneity. Boundaries, defnitions and concepts were broken, as a refection of the contemporary culture's formal sublimation. This physical, emotional and social phenomenon, has it's origin from transparency. The various transparencies serve as a mot for a wider study, of the impact of architecture on the contemporary museology context and the very evolution of the concept of art. In particular, the interdependent relationship between the institution, the artist and the public.
