V&A Magazine / No.25

 

In the Summer 2011 issue of V&A Magazine, find out about Amanda Levete Architects who have been chosen to undertake a project that will significantly alter the museum and its immediate area. Kieran Long talks to Levete and the V&A’s Moira Gemmill about the next stage of FuturePlan. Biographer Claire Tomalin examines Dickens’s manuscripts as they go into conservation, and considers the great Victorian novelist’s friendship with John Forster, who bequeathed these treasures to the V&A.

Murtaza Vali profiles the ten artists and designers whose work has been shortlisted for this year’s Jameel Prize. Thomas Phongsathorn investigates an installation specially for the V&A by theatre director Katie Mitchell, that offers interpretations of one scene in the style of five of her great twentieth-century predecessors.

The novelist AS Byatt explains tells us about her favourite objects and how she settled on the special exhibits she included in a custom-designed map of the V&A. Plus the latest V&A acquisitions, books and displays previewed.
