A Courtauld Mis-Guide
Full Company with Tony Weaver
Courtauld Institute, London
(November 2003 - November 2005)
Wrights & Sites were commissioned to produce a new work
for the Courtauld Institute's East
Wing Collection 06 (Urban Networks),
2003-5. The exhibition features work by a series of artists of international
repute.
We produced A Courtauld Mis-Guide, 3000
copies of a two-sided A3 map comprising four walks out into central London
through the four gates of Somerset House. Visual artist Tony Weaver has
also
created an installation to signpost the walks, which is hung in the library
beneath
the courtyard.
A Courtauld Mis-Guide offers a walk to the North, where you
might discover a park-keeper's house that used to be a morgue; a walk to
the East, where you are invited to identify shapes in the architecture around
you; a walk to the South, where you are encouraged to curate your own exhibition
from the items washed up onto the beach by the Thames; a walk to the West,
which takes you around the backs of glamorous hotels.
You can view both pages of A Courtauld Mis-Guide on
the Mis-Guide website.
