kabinett der abstrakten

Just nipped in to Bloomberg's Space gallery in Finsbury Square. It's a beautiful building with a great show by Goshka Macuga called 'Kabinett der Abstrakten' which consists of a cabinet in the front room, some pillars in the back and a selection of works placed in the library. It includes work by a number of other artists. The library is great and is permanent. Anyone can just walk in and sit around in a beautiful space reading books (if you've got time, of course) and spy in on meetings and workers above and below.

The highlight for me was the suit worn by the first dog in space which was inside the cabinet. It looked very comical but was in fact genuine and not just a corset with a plastic snout stuck on top.

The bad news is that the exhibition ends tomorrow so there's no time to bring anyone else along.
