i happened to be walking past the tate modern yesterday and popped in as i thought the new piece embankment by rachel whiteread was opening. turned out it was a press day and it opens today but i still got a good look and photo… i think it will be a big hit, works really well in the space. it is made from 14 000 casts of the inside of cardboard boxes.
