White Cube, Bermondsey Street
‘Model’ by Anthony Gormley is the current exhibition on
show at the White Cube Gallery in Bermondsey. The smaller galleries show a
series of working models while the central corridor seems littered with discarded
iron block sculptures. It’s not until you reach South Gallery II that it all
starts to make sense. The gallery contains a huge 100 ton, sheet metal set of
cubes that represent the human form. Visitors can enter the sculpture, via the
foot, only after having signed a disclaimer that they will not hold the gallery
responsible should they be injured while inside the labyrinth of inter
connected metal chambers. Some are dark and can only be entered by feeling your
way along the solid metal structure, while others are spacious and open to the
gallery lighting. The experience is meant to represent the journey through a
body and it certainly is an experience I would recommend.
