December 5th 2008 -Richard Serra at the Gagosian Gallery, Kings Cross, London.
- there is something playful about people disappearing and reappearing. Is this a slow climbing frame for adults?
- people have to negotiate their way around one another in the maze-like structure
- gallery attendants are very watchful, sometimes following you into a structure. This can become a game as you work out how long it takes them to appear
- difficult to gain a mental picture of the large, spiralled maze sculpture. Disorientation part of the experience
- many viewers employed tourist reactions to the sheer phenomenon and went into photography mode
- there is something inherently unusual in seeing such large slabs and curves of steel outside of their normal functional architectural role. Normally they’re doing something.
