미리암 스와르크
건축가이자 도시계획가. 지난 30여 년간 주거 건축을 전문으로 하는 건축사무소를 이끌어왔다. 파리 전역에서 수많은 건축 프로젝트를 진행하고 세계 각지를 여행하며 쌓은 경험을 예술에 대한 깊은 호기심과 애정의 원동력으로 삼는다. 예술품 수집가로서의 안목을 바탕으로, 2024년 파리에 건축 전문 상상건축(IMAGINAIRES D’ARCHITECTURE)갤러리를 설립했다. 갤러리는 건축, 건설, 그리고 추상을 예술적 지향점으로 삼는 작가들을 조명하는 데 주력한다. 또한 드로잉, 사진, 조각 등 다양한 매체로 자신만의 예술적 세계를 구축해가는 건축가들에 대한 연구와 전시를 병행한다. 상상건축갤러리는 다른 갤러리와의 협력 및 프랑스 건축 문화의 정수를 보여줄 수 있는 상징적인 장소들을 활용해, 전시장이라는 물리적 공간을 넘어선 ‘외부 확장형’ 프로젝트 전개를 또 하나의 핵심 가치로 추구한다. -
