MuseumX by realities:united

MuseumX was conceived as a temporary installation in Mönchengladbach to act as surrogate and social place-holder for the Abteiberg Museum while it was closed for renovation. The central motivation behind this project was to expand beyond the original program of "sculpture as urban sign," into the realm of "museum as sculpture." Through the use of wide facade panels and a few other components built into and on the hulk of the centrally-located 65,000 cubic-meter structure, the former Möchengladbach Theatre is transformed into an imaginary museum building designed in distinctive Postwar Modern style. This clearly discernable illusion of a cultural building, conceived as an „urban status symbol," is detailed all the way through to the entrance foyer, which is staffed with ersatz museum personnel and which ends with a rear wall. This hybridization of billboard, urban revitalization project, and art sculpture undermines and exceeds all preconceived expectations, hereby gaining the necessary freedom to establish an even more ambitious starting-point for the Abteiberg Museum and its programmatic enhancement upon reopening.
