Wrights & Sites
were commissioned to produce a new work for the Courtauld Institute
of Art's
East
Wing Collection 06 (Urban Networks), 2003-5. The exhibition features
work by a series of artists of international repute.
Wrights & Sites have produced A
Courtauld Mis-Guide,
3000 copies of an A3 map comprising four walks out into central London
through the
four gates of Somerset House. Visual artist Tony Weaver has 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.
