Theresa Weber: Cycles of Unmasking
Beautiful but baffling installation at Somerset House by Theresa Weber. The work was a long hanging down the Stamp Stairwell in bright colours. According to the blurb it is a “site-specific response to the colonial history and imperial architecture” but I’m afraid I didn’t get that from looking at it. That said I did think it looked wonderful in the space and drew you to look up and down the vertiginous space. It reminded me of a colourful version of Cecilia Vicuña’s recent installation at Tate Modern. Closes 30 November 2022
