Historical Consideration on the Non-White cube Gallery Space

本研究以现代艺术的画廊空间设计为研究对象，重点研究了非白色立方画廊空间，它与流行的白色立方空间背道而驰。通过对现代美术馆设计中白色立方和非白色立方的历史发展的分析，探讨空间设计对作品展示意义的影响。特别关注的是最重要的非白色立方体类型的例子--德国汉诺威的埃尔·利西茨基的《抽象内阁》。

This study focuses on the design of gallery spaces for modern art, investigating especially the non-white cube gallery space, which runs counter to the prevalent white cube spaces. By analyzing the historical development of gallery design for modern art, both white cubic and non-white cubic, this study also deals with the influence of space design on the meaning of the works displayed. The special attention is paid on the most important example of the non-white cubic type, El Lissitzky’s “Abstract Cabinet” in Hannover, Germany.
