We went to an intriguing intervention by Langlands & Bell on the ground floor of an architectural practice called Apt at the northern, Finsbury end of St. John Street. I thought how nice it was to see works of art in what was essentially a work environment, but in the talk, it was pointed out how many museums are in unconventional environments, including several that Langlands & Bell have worked in – the Soane, Charleston.
One of their first works, preserved as the seat of a chair in the exhibition, was a model of the basement of the National Gallery for the Property Services Agency which maybe gave them a taste for the more surreal histories of museums (or muse ums).
