Rachel Whiteread

CAC Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Malaga

A retrospective


comunicato stampa

CAC Málaga, the centre for contemporary art run by Málaga City Council, presents the most important exhibition ever staged in Spain by Rachel Whiteread, a British artist whose themes revolve around her peculiar vision of everyday objects, which she reinvents using the technique of “emptying what we do not see.” The retrospective show comprises some 40 works, including outstanding pieces from each phase in Rachel Whiteread artistic career to date, mostly sculpture but also including series of photographs and silkscreens.

The art of this special, singular sculptor is based on a series of confrontations (between the public and the private, between the copy and the original…) and on “emptying” spaces, using a painstaking “negative casting” technique to turn everyday objects into art. As a result, the CAC Málaga show features pieces inviting us to reflect on the objects that form part of everyday life, as Whiteread reinvents bathtubs, beds, tables, floors, chairs and doors by revealing the empty spaces they create. The exhibition also features a collection of 53 tiny dolls’ houses, an installation that calls to mind the traditional Christmas crib.

The exhibition, open until August 26, is sponsored by Unión Fenosa.
