Abstract
New Spaces for the New Technology
The MUSAC, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León was created with the aim of becoming a museum of the present. It houses an art collection that dates from 1992 to the present—a period in which plastic experimentation for the technological takes place—, and has undertaken exhibitions that include works from the more recent creation.
Through a brief review of the architecture of MUSAC and examples of some of the works from its collection and projects undertaken since its opening in 2005, the case study intends to reflect on the reconciliation of technological art with space, since the exhibition of works of new technology call for an appropriate space to suit its needs, not only on the part of the creator, but as well as the spectator.
