Floor Plan for an Institution is a durational collaborative project, whereby artists & curators from 5 artist-run spaces have been invited to contribute to the design of a speculative artist-run institution within the Meter Room project space, as a means of collectively imagining an alternative model for what an art institution could be.#1. THE RECEPTION: BACKROOM 1987-2012 In response to The Reception, two Worcester-based galleries, Pitt Studio and Division of Labour, present Backroom 1987-2012 by Spanish artist Antoni Muntadas Backroom 1987-2012 is a durational installation which reoccurs in various locations over a number of years creating a conversation about the private, public spaces in every institution and the transparency of the activities that take place therein. Backroom is a version of another work called Quarto do Fundo – backroom from 1987. Muntadas placed a CCTV camera in the backroom of the Louisa Strina Gallery in San Paulo, access to this room is barred by a rope. The backroom in a commercial gallery is a space for keeping archives, documents, the store of works and most importantly where many dealings in the art market are made.
