A new short film from Spirit of Space takes viewers inside Studio Gang's transformation of the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. Jeanne Gang and Juliane Wolf of Studio Gang and Kate Orff of SCAPE explain the design aspects of the project and how it reflects the changing nature of museums this century.
It has been one year since Studio Gang's sinuous insertion into the complex of buildings that make up the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts opened to the public in Little Rock, Arkansas. While both architectural photography and videography tend to prize empty or partially occupied — most often staged — spaces, seeing people using a building is valuable, especially in a public building. In this short film, Spirit of Space captures the museum full of life, with visitors looking at art, moving about the building and landscape, or just hanging out in the “living room” (above) at the heart of the new insertion.
