Trap: The Matterhorn8 – 20 June 2010The final part of
The Royal Standard‘s contribution to
Global Studio exhibition, curated by
Jemma Egan. Be transported to the base of one of the most iconic mountains in the world, The Matterhorn. Here you will have the opportunity to pose in front of the stunning vista that will befall you and even better, have your photo taken with the equally iconic and heroic St Bernard Rescue dogs.
The exhibition will transport you to the seemingly ubiquitous, tourist trap, photo opportunities that sit alongside, opposite and in the viscinity of highly commercialised tourist attractions. The installation will raise questions about the authenticity of the commercialised tourist experience. Visitors are invited to visit the bogus attraction to help create a synthetic memory of their ‘trip’.
A photographer will be available:
Monday–Friday 12–5pm
Saturday–Sunday 10–5pm
