Task 4

Being a fan of Rachel Whiteread’s sculptures using negative space to translate the everyday into lifeless casts of what the item once was, I recently visited Tate Britain to see it in person. By being able to perceive space in this format, the viewers (sub)consciously become more aware of their surroundings. The way in which this exhibition was curated, it allowed each exhibit to be reflected upon in its own time while not entrapping it within the gallery space itself; for example, ‘Ghost’ which was exhibited there, presents the interior of an entire living room space- so the ‘room within a room’ aspect was explored but yet with this curatorial setup, did not become the focal point of the exhibition.
