All of This Belongs to You - About the Exhibition
1 April – 19 July 2015
'All of This Belongs to You' Neon Invitation by Neon Circus 2015
At a time when Britain will be engaged in the democratic process of an election, the V&A will examine the role of public institutions in contemporary life and what it means to be responsible for a national collection.
A series of specially commissioned interventions around the Museum will raise questions about the opportunities, obligations and limits to participation in this national institution. The exhibition will act as a laboratory for public life and explore the role of design and architecture in defining civic identity, technology, security, citizenship, democracy, the public realm and urban experience.
On display:
Jorge Otero-Pailos
New York-based artist and architectural preservationist Jorge Otero-Pailos’s installation The Ethics of Dust: Trajan’s Column interacts with the largest object in the Museum. Using conservation latex, Otero-Pailos cleaned the hollow inside of the cast of Trajan’s Column, removing dust and dirt accumulated over decades in this usually unseen space. The result is giant latex ‘cast of a cast’ that is exhibited adjacent to the original, revealing the passage of time, and highlighting the Museum’s duty of care to the public collection.

muf architecture/art
London-based practice muf architecture’s project titled More than one (fragile) thing at a time takes place within the Medieval and Renaissance galleries. This area of the Museum was originally designed as an archetypal public space, with daylight, sculptures of standing figures, and a fountain. muf’s installation will host a series of activities, all provoked by the existing contents of the gallery and the afterlife of the places those objects came from.

Natalie Jeremijenko
Natalie Jeremijenko is an engineer, educator and ecologist, her work explores the larger natural contexts we exist within - from atmospheres to animals. Natalie’s created three related pieces under the title Re Public of Air, each considering the Museum within the wider ecology of the city. A Phenological Clock in the grand entrance will depict 12 months in the life-cycle of the flowering plants and pollinating insects that surround the V&A, Ag Bags on the low walls at the front of the museum will introduce plant life to the stone architecture, and a Moth Cinema will create a habitat for insects, celebrating their critical role in our daily lives.

James Bridle
James Bridle’s installation Five Eyes takes its name from the alliance of major global intelligence powers. Using an algorithm of the sort employed by these agencies, objects have been automatically selected from an analysis of the Museum collection’s 1.4 million digital records. The resulting displays incorporate the Museum's archive files to create networks of objects that reveal the history and present state of surveillance and state power.

Sonia Delaunay Electric Prisms 1913 Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA, Gift of Mr. Theodore Racoosin
© Pracusa 2014083
Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) was a key figure in the Parisian avant-garde and became the European doyenne of abstract art.
Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, she celebrated the modern world of movement, technology and urban life, exploring new ideas about colour theory together with her husband Robert Delaunay.
This will be the first UK retrospective to assess the breadth of her vibrant artistic practice across a wide range of media. It will feature the groundbreaking paintings, textiles and clothes she made across a sixty-year career, as well as the results of her innovative collaborations with poets, choreographers and manufacturers, from Diaghilev to Liberty.
A knockout show
