Calum Storrie graduated in architecture from Dundee in 1980. In London he worked with various practices specialising in museum and exhibition design before joining the British Museum Design Office in 1990. In the following eight years he worked on many projects ranging from small exhibitions of prints and drawings to large scale re-displays of the permanent collection. During this time he also embarked on a series of collaborations with artists such as Terry Smith, Richard Wentworth, Neil Cummings and Marysia Lewandowska in the British Museum. In 1998 he set up his own practice to work on museum and cultural projects. Since then he has developed close working relationships with a number of clients who have come to value his personal attention to the completion of their exhibitions. He has a wide network of disciplines and professional knowledge to draw on and has worked closely with graphic designers, lighting designers, AV consultants, mount makers and other specialists in the museum field. Since 1998 he has completed more than 20 exhibitions at the Royal Academy and has been responsible for 10 exhibitions and permanent gallery projects at the National Portrait Gallery. In 2005 Calum Storrie Ltd was formed. He has written extensively on museums and has taught at Kingston University, London Metropolitan University, the University of the Arts London and for the British Council in India. In 2006 his book ‘The Delirious Museum’ was published. Charles Saumarez-Smith, Director of the National Gallery, London said: The Delirious Museum brilliantly explores the museum as a place of disorder, a space for wandering and dreaming, from Baudelaire to the surrealists, from the situationists to the Centre Pompidou, from Carlo Scarpa to Sir John Soane. It is a wunderkammer of a book, an exploration of sites and scenes relating architecture to memory throughout the world. |
