The Mini Pavilions comprise five distinct, but formally coherent and physically interconnected structures, specifically designed to facilitate intimate, durational experiences with select works of art. Rotating exhibitions will be on view throughout the five galleries, attracting repeat visitorship and sustaining a dialogue between Art Omi Pavilions and the broader cultural context.
The Mini Pavilions are designed by Brooklyn-based architecture firm SO-IL, who conceived the discrete structures of Mini Pavilions as chapters in an unfolding perceptual encounter, successively inviting the viewer to deepening stages of contemplation. Unifying the five pavilions under a single roof, SO-IL’s design emphasizes a continuous and cohesive experience.
SO-IL is responsible for the architectural vision of significant museums and galleries including Amant, Brooklyn; Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, Massachusetts; K11 Art and Cultural Center, Hong Kong; the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, Davis, California; Kukje Gallery, Seoul; UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Shanghai; Tina Kim Gallery, New York; Kurimanzutto, New York; Site Verrier, Meisenthal, France; and others.
