Reminded me of one of those semi-tasteful design shops showcasing some new storage boxs in translucent plastic. If only no-one had ever mentioned negative space at art school. She really ran with that idea.
Oh it's an anti-monument. Is anything ever a real monument, or a positive statement of beliefs or aesthetics? As you might have guessed the Whiteread didn't do much for me. The tate modern generally can me me feel a bit sick, so much space and signage, so little art. Pokey uninspired galleries full of second-rate art, nice big building. You might call the Tate Modern an anti-museum, a monument to the hatred of art.
