Josiah McElheny's Bloomberg Commission: The Past Was A Mirage I Had Left Far Behind (Whitechapel Gallery)
Went along today to the Whitechapel Gallery to see this amazing interactive artwork. Seven large structures created with mirrors, wood, and canvas have projected on to them various abstract films chosen by people the artist has asked to participate and of which the content and running order change weekly. Amazing experience, not to be missed. There is also a small room just off the main room which has glass cabinets with various books and materials that have informed the artists work and the choices of abstract film.
