Roger Hiorns’ “Seizure”
By caryn | October 15, 2008
Perhaps if I hadn’t heard so much previous discussion about Roger Hiorns’ Seizure installation (part of Art Angel) that literally transforms a dilapidated and unused council flat in Elephant and Castle I would have been more affected by it. It’s been related to ruins or a mausoleum in recent talks but really it’s an uber cool blue crystalized cave, small and oddly lit, that would be akin to Planet Krypton if it weren’t green. The location is absolutely key: I would imagine most of the art world in general doesn’t traverse the Elephant and Castle area too frequently but there they were, queuing and gearing up for the experience (one has to put on Wellies and rubber gloves to enter the piece). Oddly enough, though I don’t have much to say about it I recommend it…it’s fun. I just don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing in art anymore.
