So says the explanatory blurb accompanying the latest work of Rachel Whiteread at the Tate Modern. I'm *pretty* sure I could have worked that out for myself, being as the entire thing is masses of white plastic castings of boxes.
I suppose it's interesting enough, but hardly 'exciting' as I heard one observer exclaim. It's certainly not on the same level as hsome of her previous work, most noticeably the concrete casting of a house, which I really rather liked.
Overall, we agreed that mostly one expected a giant size Dougall to come along and snarf up all the sugerlumps...

Come back the Goodies, all is forgiven! 
Having seen it only on TV I'm actually quite curious and would like to see the work in real life - if only to see the scale of the piece.
(It's got to be better than a garden shed anyway!)

Reddyfreddy sent this in awhile ago - taken and sent to me by mobile phone. Technology, eh? Anyhow, I thought it looked quite interesting.
