 abstract = {In this paper we describe the Pleasure of treasure treasure hunt around                London’s King’s Cross area. The pleasure of treasure was devised                as a response to Richard Wentworth’s exhibition An area of outstanding                unnatural beauty, November 2002. Richard Wentworth sought to explore the character                of King’s Cross by creating an exhibition space that would provide                somewhere both where the overlooked and hidden histories of King’s Cross                could be gathered together and also where people from the King’s Cross                area could engage with activities that had been lost or overlooked. Similarly, The                pleasure of treasure sought to take people around the area with a view to exploring                its histories and oddities. More than this, it hoped to open up the area to fresh                eyes, capable of seeing the secret treasures that lay there. In keeping with                Wentworth’s project, the beauty of King’s Cross lay not only in                the process of exploration but also in the chance encounters (of various kinds) that                sometimes surprise and sometimes disappoint.},
