The space in which art is displayed is never neutral—it frames perception, influences meaning, and reflects the dominant cultural, social, and economic structures of its time. From sacred interiors to private collections, from crowded salons to the modernist white cube, exhibition spaces have evolved alongside artistic production. The emergence of the white cube as the prevailing model in the 20th century signified a radical departure from previous approaches, emphasizing purity, objectivity, and a supposed detachment from external influences. Yet, as contemporary art continues to push spatial and conceptual boundaries, new exhibition models challenge this tradition, asking whether white space remains relevant or merely a construct that shapes meaning in its own right.
