Medieval art gallery overcomes size problems
ny AMY COLLINS Staff Reporter
When Mark Roeyer was faced with redesigning the Medieval Art Gallery in the Helen Foreman Spencer Museum of Art, his biggest challenge was overcoming the room's
The gallery, which was originally designed for the Museum's 1678 opening, was in desperate need of reorganization, according to Roeyer, museum exhibit designer. He said when the gallery was set up, everything had been done quickly.
"In early September we decided this gallery needed revamping." Roeyer said. "The money and the impetus was there; it didn't look as well as the rest of the gallery.
"But this room has uncanny wierd spaces, it's long and narrow."
As a result, Roeyer said his main concern was creating focal points in the elongated room.
"I studied the architectural design of buildings from that time and realized I was looking at what seemed to be an interesting thing about gothic architecture," he said.
Reoyer incorporated the same design concept by adding three narrow pedestals on each side wall. The structures are at the end of the gallery and are stepped out from the wall, about six inches from each other. The concept makes the room look wider.
"The stepping arrangement makes spaces look bigger for the exhibition of each piece," he
Roeyer also created three main focal points in the gallery for a group of capitals and half-capitals, a Reimenschneider Madonna and Child and a sculpture of the Crucifixion.
A capital is an ornately topped building column.
Royer said the Madonna was the most difficult piece with which to work.
"Our concern was to put it on display
and have it presented to have
purchased that sense with it."
The gallery is filled almost entirely with religious artifacts from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The crucifixion has a popular theme in late gothic sculpture because at the time the Church was the only organization rich enough to support the arts.
He said that originally the sculpture had probably been in a church in front of a red or blue velvet cloth, but that he was looking for something else to enhance its beauty.
Color from paintings on the life and times of Christ fill one corner of the gallery. Although once painted, the Medieval sculpture is now void of any color.
"We put this brown behind it," he said. "That Madonna has never looked better. We found the cage, we put it into it."
the brown pedestals are built from wood and covered with formica. Rooyer said he used formica because of its clean look. The highly textured surface of the nut trim add to Rooyer's desired "Clean Look."
The entire gallery is muted with the same rich colors and the lights are kept low for a dramatic effect.
Although Roey is the exhibit designer, he does not actually build the pedestals and glass cases himself. Tony Gray, maintenance carver, will do all the cabinetry in the museum's workshop.
"Tony is essential," Rooyer said. "Without his help this would not have been possible."
He went on to explain that the decoration on his place art in the galleries was one made by the onlookers.
Roever also employs two students.
"The order of placement in a curator decision because people are using this in a class and are doing the same thing."
Art history classes use the museums to study artwork forms and styles.
re (Charles Eldridge, museum curator) and Martyn Stolstad work with me). "Roeyer said. They give me the objects and I discuss the space of mounting of them. I give them design ideas."
Stockstad is senior curator and an art history professor.
In addition to the Medieval gallery, Royer has redesigned the museum bookstore and has planned exhibits for traveling art shows. He is also a designer for all the museum's galleries.
"This is a great place to work," he said. "I'm convinced this is a high energy place. We have more changing exhibits than a lot of other museums."
Jeff Sheeemaker, a Houston visitor, examines several exhibits at the Medieval Art Gallery in the Hellenic Foresman Spencer Museum of Art. The museum was organized after being redesigned in 1978.
