Is it a Piece of Art, or a Piece of Shit?
The Unilever Series: Rachel Whiteread

So, what do you think? Is it a piece of art, or just a piece of shit?

"The form of a cardboard box has been chosen because of its associations with the storage of intimate personal items and to invoke the sense of mystery surrounding ideas of what a sealed box might contain".Bravo. That is so obvious but yet so deep. She chose boxes, not because of the shape, but for the storage aspect. I'm fascinated by the depth of Mz. Whiteread. The only time I ever think of boxes is when I'm watching a car chase and one car always seems to smash into a pile of cardboard boxes at the back of an industrial unit. But Mz. Whiteread has changed my whole thinking process now. I see boxes in a new light.
