Doris Salcedo
White Cube, Hoxton Square
until 20 Oct 2007
Complementing Salcedo’s installation (from 9 October) at Tate Modern, WC presents a mini retrospective of sculptures made in the last ten years. According to the press release: 'In her ongoing series of furniture sculptures – eleven, including three new works, will be exhibited at White Cube – Salcedo alters found wooden objects such as beds, chairs and wardrobes, transforming them into sculptures that take on the resonance of something lost, broken or mended. Apertures are closed in – what were once drawers or glass doors are now filled with fragments of clothes and concrete – as if the objects were suffocating or suffering from an act of violence as things are forced unexpectedly, brutally together. They bring to mind loss as much as survival and, like emergency architecture, evoke a sense of making-do, a desperate reconfiguration of fragments to enable one to keep going.'
