A while back you wrote this about your visit to the Tate.
"VoCA didn't think that much of Doris Salcedo's installation Shibboleth, in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. The way it had been described, we had envisioned a large crack in the floor, but it was only small. The effect was kind of neat, but for full effect it should have been cavernous. Perhaps that would have been impossible."
Perhaps you would have preferred Urs Fisher' work at the Gavin Brown gallery, where he excavated the entire floor of a room.
I am unable to put linkable addresses here so just search on the name and gallery to see his work.
Hi,
Yes I found an image here:
