SPATIAL TRANSLATION OF ARTWORK - CURATION OF SPACE
At KISU, we practise the spatial translation of artwork into somatic and psychological experiences. This is done by the arbitration and collaboration of artists, architects and interior designers to create a highly intelligent, immersive experience through design narratives. This conceptual practice is based on the management, programming, and design of both the physical and metaphysical aspects of space. We highlight important focal points within the artwork, extracting and applying them to the architectural and interior features of their housing. This creates an amplified narrative within their environment, creating a somatic experience for users rather than a standard object/viewer one. This allows the user to fully comprehend the context of the designs being presented, tying them into a narrative that they are now a part of. I want the spaces I design to resonate on a subconscious level, creating a more memorable, emotionally connected experience. This level of intimacy through design, when applied correctly, is something that can imprint on any user permanently.
Our approach to curation carries a modernist ethos and is based on the collaboration of practices rather than separation. At KISU we want to reintegrate art and architecture since the conception of any one of these [individual arts] in isolation is a limitation. Interrelated, as they have been in all the greatest periods of art, they contribute to one another. Isolated, they dry up, and lose their associative values.
