The
East Wing Collection 06 website was
hosted and maintained separately from the Courtauld website.
East Wing Collection No.6 explored the theme of Urban Networks.
The exhibition addressed notions such as surveillance and walking.
Works in the collection were encountered through the terms Routes /
Sites / Groups / Positions. The diverse mix of established artists,
newly emerging professionals, students and those working within a didactic
workshop environment created an exciting and stimulating exhibition.

Site-specific
work such as that by performance group Wrights &
Sites encouraged visitors to negotiate the warren-like spaces of
the Courtaulds rarely-seen interior, offering a challenging
alternative to the now familiar white cube spaces of contemporary
art display. The exhibition presented an exciting new work by Mel
Bochner alongside Michael Weselys haunting time-delay photography.
Isaac Juliens Undressing Icons series was shown in
its entirety for the first time in the UK, and Franko Bs
recent Still
Life project founds its way into the corridor spaces of the
Institute.
In addition, there were workshop pieces by artists affiliated to
organisations SMart and Capital A, as well as the 1994 project 'Other
Mens
Flowers initiated by Joshua Compston, founder of the East
Wing Collection, featuring the work of prominent British artists.

the 06 collection exhibition.
An illustrated catalogue also accompanied the show.
