La escala es un problema divertido: La polución de la escala de las obras como uno de los síntomas del complejo arte-arquitectura

Abstract

Since the early years of the 21st century, the main international centers of artistic diffusion competed for having the largest exhibition rooms designed by the most audacious architects. The artists had to conceive their projects adapting them to ever-larger formats. This expansion required them to reflect on what scale relationships could be established between the spectators and the works within the rooms. The global expansion of these contemporary art centers has been an unstoppable phenomenon, in which the architectural design of the buildings, and of all the elements that make up the museum experience, have played a fundamental role. A reflection is required on the type of experience offered by the works in these spectacular spaces in which they are in danger of becoming another element of design. At present other specialized spaces for large-scale works are being sought.
