The Wallace Collection Museum is located between bond street and Oxford street. The first impression to go into the main hall is gorgeous and splendid, features classic English decoration, where used to be a house of the Wallace. The collection includes French paintings and the Wallace Family private collection of armor and weapons. The route of visiting the gallery is fluent, walking into the end of the gallery as well as the start of the room, where is an elegant gift shop. It is probably the atmosphere of classical environment; however, the experience is warm, nice and euphoric. In the middle of the house is a skylight window coffee shop, offering English tea and dessert. The Wallace Collection is definitely a fantastic place to visit in both knowledge and entertainment.
One find out is the concept seems related to the Book: Didier Maleuvre(1999) Museum Memories: History, Technique, Art
The concept of Balzac's interior:
The beautiful is the concealed. Layer up layer of curtains hang over every corner of the house, draperies gathered in bunches and floods wrapping the room in dense chiaroscuro.
The curtain indulges the flight into three-dimensionality, not to supply more reality, but to turn reality into wide-scale trompe.
Reality is the blind spot of language, for its part, takes the real to be the inexpressible. ( language is romantically inclined to believe that an object acquires more reality the more it eludes linguistic description)
The outside of discourse is a production of discourse.
We are not divided between on the inside, a true sexual nature, and on the outside, sexuality only exists in sofa as there is a sexual discourse. Sexuality is immanent or interior to the discourse about sexuality. There is nothing beyond the curtain, all inside.
He says: when the finally wakes up, it finds itself half-enclosed in the platonic cave, divided between a real half and a not so real half, the reality we perceive is no more than representation.
The reflection: through his words, that tell what the feeling and obtained I have while visiting museums and galleries. The museum seems like theatres or watch TV programs that makes people exist in another world. This also inspire me how important the experience of the museum and the gallery. This idea can bring into the project of nude exhibition in a coffee shop.
