All this, and free sweets too
S trings of ordinary lightbulbs on white plastic flex, hung like flowers on dangling vines and festooned from the ceiling, in celebration of nothing at all. A low and vacant plinth, waiting for something to happen, with more lightbulbs glowing around its edge, a tawdry halo of expectancy. A lone and distant bird in a high white sky, a huge distance caught in the camera's eye. Blue curtains sifting blue light on to a blue mirror, veiling the world outside and spilling over the silver cellophane wrappers of thousands of sweets. Walk through a blue and white bead curtain, and think for a moment that it could almost be rain (it is called Water). This is the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, currently at the Serpentine and on billboards around London (a single unexplained image - two dented pillows side by side, rumpled sheets, the aftermath of sleep or sex). There are more works, discretely displayed in the Print Room at the V&A, and in the studios of the Royal College of Art across … [Read more...] about All this, and free sweets too
