Franz Ackermann
Colourful exhibition at White Cube, Bermondsey of new work by Franz Ackermann. The exhibit consisted of 11 works displayed in a gallery painted with bold abstract shapes which gave the whole thing an installation feel. The works themselves were depictions of urban landscapes physically layered in different ways. Sometimes glimpses of the townscape were visible though gaps in the top surface and at other the abstract shape was in this lower level. It gave the effect of showing the complexity of a city and how it works. My favourite one was of an airport with glimpses of the departure boards, seats and trolleys through the gaps in the upper painted level.
