The NJPlatform proposes to activate what is usually considered a programmatically passive space — the museum lobby — using the flexible, modular and adaptable components of the "Lobby Case" and "Lobbying Elements" to animate the area through active programming and spontaneous engagement.
The "Lobby Case" indexes, stores, and allows access to the various mobile "Lobbying Elements" that include Mobile Platforms, Screening Benches, Lobbying Islands, Mobile Stairs, Stepped Seating, and Folding Seating. The Case itself is also a highly configurable "element," made of interlocking but separable sliding units that can be placed anywhere within the Platform or in and out of the art centre, redefining their contexts.
The NJPlatform was unveiled on the occasion of Nam June Paik's 80th anniversary celebration, and was made possible by the City of Yong-In and GyeogGi Cultural Foundation.
