design development XPose museum is a space of cultural and physical enlightenment for the Tallahassee and North Florida community. It is one of the few modern and contemporary museums in Florida, with the closest museum being over three hours away. This space is meant to enrich the lives of those in the area by providing a space for conversation, play, and, most of all, exposure to the arts. XPose museum is a conglomerate of form, function, aesthetic, and wonder. Each texture, color, transparency, and image is an integral part of the user experience. The most important factor of this design was approach and agency. We have designed the space so that one may have many options for journey while maintaining quality of approach and sightlines. The spaces have also been designed so that exhibits can be closed for events without extending length of travel for eventgoers. This is a place for those who love excitement, wonder, depth, and play. Welcome to XPose Museum of Art.

the exterior The XPose museum starts the user journey off with a conceptual facade. It is inspired by a camera’s aperture, with an extension and basket weave. This powder-coated steel allows for dynamic shadows on the interior, as well as a condition for harsh sunlight. The vestibule protrudes from the building: showcasing banners of the logo, as well as features of artists whose pieces are touring at the museum. A red “X” is the major branding for the building - referencing the logo.
33
The entry features a corridor by the artist James Turrell. It propels visitors into the space and sets the tone for neon lighting and planar changes found in the remainder of the museum.
the lobby The lobby is the only space to play on natural light. It features a translucent acrylic wall by the reception desk enclosure, as well as an interactive copper wall by the artist Danny Rozin. The bright ceiling installation serves as a wayfinding tool. Coconut chairs and inset, textural rugs create a design language that effervesces a sense of sophistication as well as play. The lobby is meant to show that XPose is both a whimsical and intellectual space; meant for discussion and enjoyment for all patrons.
35
The kid’s area is off of the cafe, near the restrooms. This space is an area for children to relax and play or calm down if ever overwhelmed in the museum. It features seating, a play space, and a children’s restroom.
the cafe The cafe is an integral part of any museum. It is where one can literally and figuratively digest their experiences at the museum. This space features a wall that is great for a photo-op, and emphasizes exposure through the juxtaposition of shade and shadow on the ceiling and floor. The cafe is meant to service many needs in a small footprint. Coffee and pastries are to be supplied regularly, with wine, spirits, and hors d’oeuvres for special events. The kitchen is equipped with a washing sink, cooler, freezer, and warming oven.
37
the courtyard The courtyard is a space that will bring revenue into the museum. It features outdoor seating, a gazebo, benching, and a large sculpture garden. This area will benefit the space with the option of rejuvenation outdoors. The garden space can also be used for events, weddings, and museum galas.
39
The aperture facade continues along the side of the building, but with more glazing shown to maximize light into the kids’ area and cafe. The double level serves as an area for planters and water features to emphasize reflectivity and create a juxtaposition of modernism and nature from the interior.
the giftshop The giftshop feature features colors and motifs found similarly iin the entirety of the project. Its bold color, transparencies, and red “dark b room� lights emphasize the spirit and flavor of XPose. Physically, it is situated so that one may make their first and/or last stop at the giftshop. This will promote sales and increase the spread of the XPose brand. Above, a marketing package is shown with two logo options. These have been designed and chosen to best reflect the interior of the museum, as well as serve as a bold and simple logo for viewers to recognize and inquire for. Ultimately, the giftshop is a space that has the opportunity to expand viewership and patronage to the museum, and will increase longevity.

exhibits At XPose, our exhibits are carefully curated to facilitate a transcendent experience for our patrons and museum-goers. Each exhibit has an envelope that was developed to emphasize the formal and experiential qualities of the artists. Some of our exhibits feature well-known artists such as Lucio Fontana, Olafur Eliasson, and Yayoi Kusama. Others, while less known, still exhibit the interest in color, exposure, and interaction that these big names carry with them. It is our hope that our visitors will enjoy the exhibits as much as we enjoyed curating them.

exhibit one Type: Fixed Photography + Rotating Graphics The Human Scale seeks to use photography and interactive exhibits to showcase the human experience and provide an international portrait for the patrons of XPose. The exhibit features work from Michael Wolf, Jeff Wall, Hendrik Kerstens, and Chris McCaw. These artists take their visions from different distances from the human form. On one wall, there is a “mood wall” in which people may place their hands on the red surface. Depending on the heat of their hand, the visitor’s print will change color, and eventually disappear. The focal wall is created by kiosks that take the fingerprints of visitors who place their hands on the surface. An algorithm will project their thumb-print and create shapes and colors based off of their unique grooves.
45
exhibit two Type: Rotating The LED installation “HEOFON” from ARRO Lighting and Brut Deluxe exemplifies the act of being “in between” and is the influence of this exhibit. Two meter high light pink acrylic sheets are placed in a maze-like orientation which encourage viewers to interact with this installation. This installation includes 3 different paths which allow for different experiences depending on the location of the viewer within the maze. LED strips illuminate the acrylic sheets from the bottom and and act as a way finding element to guide the viewer through the maze. The overlapping planes create different shades, reflections, and illusions which overall contributes to the user experience of the exhibit.
46
Olafur Eliasson
exhibit three Type: Fixed “Looking at/Looking through� inspired by Olafur Eliasson eliminates the boundary between user experience design and the art itself. By creating a series of suspended colored glass panels, the user can view the movement within the exhibit as well as be a part of the art.
47
exhibit four Type: Fixed The artist Lucio Fontana is known for his light installations located in Milan, “Neon Lights.” Exhibit 4 is entirely appreciating Fontana’s work by replicating his neon tube exhibit, but obviously not to the extent of the original. These long tubes alter the visitor’s visual and physical perception by giving off a green tint that illuminates the entire space. Upon entering, the left wall is filled with cut outs enabling the neon lights to illuminate through the adjacent hall to provide a glimpse of the space. This allows the user to obtain the full experience from beginning to end and encourage visitors to fully engage in this Lucio Fontana inspired exhibit.
48
YAYOI KUSAMA AMA A
exhibit five Type: Rotating The Kusama exhibit is a rotating exhibit that features paintings, sculptures, and an Infinity Mirror. The Infinity mirror is a 12’ x 12’ octagonal room with mirrors on all 10 planes, thus creating an infinite reality. The space is designed with exposed joist and modular walls accommodate for different mediums of art.
49
exhibit six Type: Rotating Inspired by an unknown artist and 80’s neon, Digital Underground is an installation that seeks to create digital monumentality in a physical box. The forced perspective and neon tones creates an intense experience for viewers and serves as the first of the darker exhibits in the museum.
50
exhibit seven Type: Rotating Linear interface is entirely inspired by artist Atony Gormely’s Breathing Room IV, which involves hallow boxes composed of LED strips. Similarly, exhibit 7 is entirely lit up by LED’s embedded and emerged from its reflective black floor. These LED strips construct 5 cubes overlapping all at different places. An illusion is then present no matter where the viewer is located with due to the various lines and dark atmosphere of the space. Because of the reflectivity of the flooring accompanied by its dark surrounding walls, Linear Interface is a mirage in which it seems as though the room is infinite and expanding considering visitors cannot see what’s beyond. Instead, what’s in front of the eye is only apparent.
51
exhibit eight Type: Fixed Topographic Study is based off of a map rotated vertically, and then extruded topographically. In between the layers of lines are bold lights that emphasize volume and create a sense of mystery. This space is at the anterior of the museum and serves as a dark, contemplative, yet fun space.
52
exhibit nine Type: Fixed Inspired by an unknown artist, Optik delineates neon lights in an interactive way contributing to the overall concept of Xpose. This hallway is centrally located and connects the “dark side� and light exhibits effortlessly as it serves as a pathway between the two. The LED strips are embedded into the ground, ceiling, and walls, strategically placed to create a slight illusion that this perfectly rectangular hall may in fact be tilted. Black floors, walls, and ceiling confine the lights and contribute to the high contrast against the bright blue and pink LED tint. The bright illumination given off from Optik encourages users to take this exciting route through Xpose as they continue to journey through all that awaits.
53
exhibit ten Type: Fixed Giving homage to Tallahassee’s street art, “All Local” provides an opportunity to experience Tallahassee culture in a museum setting. Local artist can come in and create a unique space that can only exist in Tallahassee, thus giving the museum an identity within the city. Patrons and museum-goers will have the opportunity to see art as it is created in stages, further enveloping them in the process of art-making and blurring the edges of art and experience.
