Abstract
In 1990s, the necessity of the Korean contemporary medium/small scale gallery as a place of experience rather than that of simple viewing has increased to meet from the requirements of the pluralistic and popularized society. The gallery makes efforts to form a collective street to cope with the influential of the power large scale cultural space as well as finding a novel direction in order to derive the regional sympathy in connection with the culture space of the neighborgood. In this paper, we study the 1990s Korean medium/small scale gallery in two aspects: First, the architectural techniques and elements which are introduces the audience to both interior and exterior spaces constructed by the 1990s gallery architecture, are investigated. The conventional architecture shows the blocking of the neighborhood and the trend of severance when viewing from both the architectural and the civil points. Secondly, we present the design characteristics from the several points of view such as conceptual, spacial, visual angles. The various trends of works in exhibition of the fine arts can provide a means for producing a great deal of variation in recent gallery architecture when viewing from a stage standpoint of exhibition space.
