Published to mark the opening of the newly expanded Whitechapel Gallery in London, 2009, A Manual takes as its subject the role of the contemporary arts institution in the twenty-first century. Readers travel from the reception to the rooftop, encountering a series of galleries dedicated to the display of site-specific commissions, collections and temporary exhibitions. Likewise they visit the archive, education and retail facilities and consider the varied and vital roles that they play within publicly funded art organisations.
