Rachel Whiteread "Long Eyes"
Luhring Augustine Gallery
This event has ended.
With this new body of work, Whiteread revisits the subject of doors and begins a series of windows, using resin as her medium. She casts the front and back of each object and merges them to create an inverse of the original. The translucent nature of the resin imbues these pieces with a lightness which belies their mass, and Whiteread has chosen colors evocative of light in relation to the passage of time. The faint grey of "Dawn", the pale lilac of "Daylight" and the impenetrable blackness of Dark each represent a specific time of day, signifying an interest on the part of the artist to not only cast space, but to capture time. The doors too are cast in tones of grey, pale blush and radiant amber and are reminiscent of interiors suffused by light or shadowed in darkness.
