Grand Detour: Vedute and Other Curious Observations Off the Grand Route - Caroline McCarthy
CURRENT EXHIBITION \| PAST EXHIBITIONS
Caroline McCArthy Grand Detour: Vedute and Other Curious Observations Off the Grand Route May 19 - June 18, 2006 In her new exhibition, Caroline McCarthy takes this preoccupation further, creating a new conceptual context with which to focus the spectator's vision on things overlooked and undervalued. In his essay for the accompanying poster/publication, British writer, Mark Hutchinson explains: "Grand Detour: Vedute and Other Curious Observations Off the Grand Route", takes its title and methods from the origins of tourism in the "Grand Tour" of 18th century Europe. "Vedute", literally translated as 'view,' is an art historical term, coined in the 18th century, used to describe pictures which provide an expansive, topographical view of a place. These pictures would be collected by young aristocrats on the Grand Tour, serving as both records of places visited and status symbols on the walls of their homes. Download Press Release
