Throw Caution to the wind and THE MOST POWERFUL CABINET IN WHITECHAPEL, 2012
Workshops & installation in collaboration with patients
Hospital corridor
14th Floor, RLH
Stories and tales from patients have been immortalised in two new sculptural installations by Container at The Royal London. In Throw Caution to the Wind, the artists visited wards, collecting stories from patients about adventures throughout their lives. The stories have been published as a book and distributed on the hospital sweet trolley and are now presented as 3D scenes. The Most Powerful Cabinet in Whitechapel has now found a permanent home in the hospital following a series of workshops during the Vital Arts festival in which patients’ super powers were translated into sculptural offerings.
Container is a multidisciplinary art and design practice founded in London in 2002 by Luise Vormittag. Often working collaboratively, they use drawing, photography, set design, installation, animation and performative elements. The resulting work takes on many forms: classic editorial and advertising commissions as well as experiential events, workshops and installations.
