Gary Tatintsian Gallery in Dubai Design District Opens with MAST Studio Interior
Vladislav Gaiduk's MAST Studio has finalized the 338-sqm interior design for the Gary Tatintsian Gallery located in Dubai Design District, UAE. The layout comprises bright, open exhibition spaces alongside a discreet museum room featuring a brick-like aesthetic, all centered around a main office area. To maximize visibility, minimal partitions are employed, and walls extend to the ceiling for a seamless look. A glass storefront limits wall area for artworks, leading MAST to create parallel exhibition walls. The museum room, accessible via a large partition, showcases dark brick-colored MDF panels and soft lighting. The exhibition, inspired by the National Museum of Qatar and Louvre Abu Dhabi, presents pieces by Peter Halley and Tony Matelli.
