idea + Narrative + CONCEPT

I've always been thinking "how can I relate outdoor street graffiti art to indoor gallery room?". It seems that they won't coexist on the earth, because the "outdoor" and the "indoor" just couldn't play well together. "out" and "in", they seem to be Opposite radically towards to two opposite ends. And I seem to be getting in a Dead-End. BUT maybe I overlooked something at the first place, maybe "out" and "in" are standing on a very ambiguous line. Louis Kahn once said in his speech is that "The street is a community room." Technically there is no line to be drawn between gallery and street art. It's all about the way that you look at them. If the graffiti can be exhibited on streets, So, it also can be gathered in the gallery and created in workshop. The problem is how I design the space. I went back to the nature of the graffiti art, to the artist, banksy. And then one word is just coming up, PARANOIA, which is the most important action getting through the design progress. You have to think differently, sharply and madly for an artist.
Narrative: A soccer player ownes a small gallery to sell the graffiti artworks and works with his graffiti junkie friends.
Concept: The space is ideally created for them into paranoia and making artworks when they are off the job. I am not meant to create a serious space for ancient costly painting, and I intend to have a space in both Dramatic and Mysterious.

Site ON king

The site is located in a special area in sydney, NEWTOWN, where the THINGS could be both black and white, simple and complex, ugly and beautiful, where PEOPLE could be both devastated in low-down side and cheerfully innovated, where the ATMOSPHERE could be both freshly clean and evilly dirty...... There is a slang that "You can be whoever you want to be in Newtown". That is the site that perfectly suits for a graffiti style art which is new, free and bold.

The animation is trying to show the rhythmic beauty of the site, just like the way of graffiti art. The piece of space ON KING st bonds to Art, and it has good potential to be a commercial art gallery.Site analysis is based on the timeline with the shadow casting the site. It clearly tells me that what would happen on that sine when the sun path projects on the building, and it gives me the sense of the way I would manipulate the lights to affect the gallery design.
I choose site 1 to design the gallery. The location is privileged to have large passenger flow beside a cinema. Not like other two sites, site 1 is more at the centre on KING st with its Distinct Linear Shape.

Chosen Art and Artist

BANKSY, a pseudonymous British graffiti artist, who is keeping all the details of himself like a mystery. I think the ONLY thing that he is willing to share to people is graffiti art. He is bold and his artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.The first pic I think it's the self portray of BANKSY, which is giving me a lot of imaginations to any possibilities behind the him and his artwork. "PARANOIA", "SARCAM" are kinda the important attitudes for the desinger. The one that two policemen are kissing together is my favorite work of him. JUST SO NATRUAL!
