Product Description
Review
"'The delirious museum Storrie assembles in his imagination runs together the domain of objects caught in the museum net and that of objects which still float free.'- Peter Campbell London Review of Books '...warm, witty and very readable - theory wrapped up in a pleasurable romp from intriguing fact to bizarre location.'- Catherine Croft Building Design 'It is a wunderkammer of a book, an exploration of sites and scenes relating architecture to memory throughout the world.'- Charles Saumarez Smith Secretary, Royal Academy of Arts"
Product Description
"The Delirious Museum" is a remarkable, illuminating work, which presents an original view of the idea of the museum in the twenty-first century, re-imagining the possibilities for museums and their displays and re-examining the blurred boundaries between museums and the cities around them. On his quest for the Delirious Museum, Storrie takes a journey that begins in the Louvre and continues through Paris, London, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He encounters on his way the museum architecture of John Soane, Carlo Scarpa and Daniel Libeskind, the exhibitions of El Lissitsky and of Frederick Kiesler, and the work of artists as varied as Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Marcel Broodthaers, Sophie Calle and Mark Dion.
