Art in Architecture – the Epoch Artworks
Glass can work as an architectural medium. Through the process of an architectural competition the artists Ursula Huth (D), Gerhard Ribka (D), Amber Hiscott (GB), Bernhard Schagemann (D), Mark Angus (GB/D) and Ronald Fischer (D) were commissioned to design four large frontal windows in the epoch spaces of the permanent exhibition, as well as a mosaic floor and an outdoor wall. These art works reflect each cultural epoch in artistic terms from a present-day perspective. Here the division of exhibition objects and displays, building and architecture is superseded, giving way to free association and for the interpretation of new meanings and signification.
