    Press Release CORPUS: The Body Unbound Courtauld Gallery 16 June – 16 July 2017 Wolfgang Tillmans, Dan, 2008. C-Type print, 40 x 30 cm ​ ​ ​ Arts Council Collection, Southbank Centre, London © Wolfgang Tillmans, courtesy Maureen Paley, London ● An exhibition curated by MA Curating the Art Museum students at The Courtauld Institute of Art ​ ​ ● Featuring major artworks from The Courtauld Collection and the Arts Council Collection ● CORPUS: The Body Unbound explores how artists past and present have engaged with the ​ body to interrogate, analyse and reimagine fundamental aspects of the human condition ● Curated in response to The Courtauld Gallery’s Special Display Bloomsbury: Art & Design ​ CORPUS: The Body Unbound explores how artists past and present have engaged with the ​ body - the corpus - to interrogate, analyse and reimagine fundamental aspects of the human condition. For artists, the human figure has been a site of optimism, a source of anxiety, as well as a symbol of limitations imposed by the self and society. Curated by the students of the Courtauld’s MA Curating the Art Museum, CORPUS: The Body Unbound responds to The ​ ​ Courtauld Gallery’s Special Display Bloomsbury Art & Design, on view in the adjacent gallery. ​ ​ Spanning more than 600 years of artistic practice, this exhibition brings together works from The Courtauld Gallery and the Arts Council Collection, creating unexpected confrontations and dialogues across time, space and media. Works by artists including Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), Henry Moore (1898-1986) and Wolfgang Tillmans (b.1968) explore the strength and fragility of the body and the potential optimism of the human spirit in times of conflict.

The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.
