Ming Fay: Edge of the Garden
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Ming Fay’s sculptures read like an imagined botanical garden of oversized seeds, fruits and branches, somewhere between nature and dream. Over two years with the museum and the artist, we arranged more than one hundred works in the Hostetter Gallery along a path that echoes the garden outside, so visitors discover the pieces one after another, as if strolling through a garden.
Challenge
Bring more than one hundred sculptures together as a coherent exhibition while preserving the character of each work.
Strategy
Over two years of development, AMCP shaped layered arrangements and sightlines around a path that echoes the garden outside. The design connects Ming Fay’s imagined nature with the museum’s horticultural identity.
Solution
A walk-through garden in the Hostetter Gallery, where individual sculptures become part of an unfolding spatial experience. Restrained display elements keep attention on the works and their relationships.

費明杰：花園邊緣
展覽設計・波士頓
費明杰的雕塑像一座想像的植物園：放大的種子、果實與枝葉，介於自然與夢境之間。我們花了兩年，和美術館、藝術家一起，把一百多件作品排進 Hostetter 展廳。動線呼應館外的花園，觀眾一邊走一邊發現，作品一件接一件，就像在花園裡散步。
挑戰
把一百多件雕塑整合成一檔完整的展覽，同時保留每件作品的個性。
策略
歷經兩年開發，沿著一條呼應館外花園的動線，安排層次與視線。設計把費明杰想像中的自然，接上美術館本身的園藝傳統。
解決
Hostetter 展廳化身可漫步的花園，一件件雕塑串成逐步展開的空間體驗。克制的展示元素，讓目光留在作品與作品之間。
