Greenhouse

Greenhouse is a museum attachment system involving many types of artefacts, from paintings to busts. The works in question are artefacts from several museums located in Central Europe, notably the Musée du Cinquanteneire and the Royal Museum of Fine Art of Belgium in Brussels (BE) and the NY Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (DK). Initially, I began to focus on the technical and functional aspect to which the media would have to respond and then, thanks to the advice of my teachers, I learnt how important it was to create an elegant but at the same time effective form that would accompany the work and enhance it. So I went down the path of organicism, creating specific supports for each of the selected works.
