Britlin's Brochure
Scott King
Published as part of Scott King’s exhibition Welcome To Saxnot.
Welcome To Saxnot proposes the new town, ‘Saxnot’, as an invention of the fictional, Butlin’s inspired brand ‘Britlin's’. King’s ludic proposals include an Old Time & Sequence Ballroom and Cash Bingo Lounge, alongside a similarly nostalgic menu plan and adult activity programmes. Sited between an advertising campaign, trade fair, urban planning policy, and utopian leisure complex, King’s sunnily innocuous vision unearth how the past might be aggressively remarketed for political or ideological gain.
