PICASSO SCULPTURES MUSEOGRAPHY
Client: Bozar, Brussels 
Typology: Scenography 
Collaboration/Office: Philippe Vander Maren + Richard Venlet
Date: 2016

In June 2016, the General Director of the Museum of Fine Arts of Brussels (BOZAR), commissioned Belgian architect Philippe Vander Maren and his team to create a scenographic proposal for the exhibition of Picasso's sculptures in Brussels.

DESCRIPTION︎︎︎

This exhibition brought together the most iconic and renowned sculptures of Pablo Picasso in the heart of Europe.

Buste de femme, Tête de taureau, and Tête de femmewere among the sculptures displayed in the museum.

The scenography aimed to create a journey using transparent walls that housed the exhibited pieces, allowing visitors to pass through the display cases and become part of the exhibited objects.

The design of the scenography sought not only to present the sculptures as objects of admiration but also to establish a sensory dialogue between the viewer and the artwork. The transparent display cases, made of glass and lightweight structures, blurred the boundaries between the exhibition and the visitor. In this way, each individual not only observed the sculptures but became an extension of them, reflected in the glass as they moved through the exhibit.
