The Hepworth had a striking
exhibition of works by Dana Schutz. It is her first exhibition in the UK. Worth
following, I reckon. Then over to YSP. The major exhibition was by Amar Anwar,
focusing on his protest at bauxite mining in Odisha, India. His film, A love
story, was poignant. Also at YSP, a strange installation by Roger Hiorns –
Seizure. He had taken a redundant modern house at the Elephant and Castle,
sealed it and introduce Copper sulphate resulting in it being entirely lined by
crystals. Then he transported the whole thing to YSP. His work was also on show
at the Calder gallery but this was very different. Objects like a bench and jet
engine which were visited in turn by a naked youth who sat whilst a flame ran
its course. It was interesting for its awkwardness and tedium.
