In the design “Reconsidering the white cube,” Jonas Stappers and Justin Errami contrast the white cube with the anti-white cube. In the white cube, art is presented in a context that isolates it from the surrounding world, emphasizing its autonomy. In contrast, the anti-white cube is a space where art and the environment can interrelate. According to Stappers and Errami, the white cube is defined, static, and autonomous, while the anti-white cube is undefined, chaotic, and contextual. To manifest this contrast, they use the backstage spaces equally to the front stage in their design. This approach emphasizes the unique characteristics of both presentation forms.
