Errata

Errata is a parasitical intervention into a public museum, via the catalogue of the collection.

From the Introduction

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is comprised of a sequence of buildings that have evolved since the 1950`s, extending self-consciously, but unobtrusively through out the surrounding parkland. The buildings simultaneously embrace and exclude the environment. Trees, greenery and shocking glimpses of the Sound -the sea separating Denmark and Sweden- expand your experience of the collection through a spectacular succession of glazed passages, galleries and picture windows.

As you walk through the museum, its spaces unfold; entrance, gallery, corridor, garden, another gallery, children's house, cafe, beach, reading room, terrace and shop. The shift in qualities of space is reflected in the values of the artefacts contained; if not in the artefacts, then in the quality of attention you extend to them. A parallel material sequence may include; money, painting, chair, print, sculpture, tree, postcard, another painting, book, glass, souvenir, etc...

While following the catalogues formal blueprint Errata proposes straying and sliding from art to artefact and back again. Errata uncovers the means by which the museum constructs and authorises specific objects, by tracing the dissemination, regulation and exclusion of the collection through display, presentation and representation of objects and images.

Errata was freely availible during the exhibition as an additional guide to the Museum, and included with every catalogue purchase.
