From: lyonel f Category: Art Date: 23 September 2008 Time: 06:46 PM Review: Really this surprised me, it was really good, perhaps I was dehydrated but this was the best show at hoxton white cube for ages. First you go into the dark and that is always disturbing, then you watch a film which seems to be about art, cinema, and architecture all being the same in a good way, and you sit on funny rolls of paper stools and are surrounded by strips of film and the noise is of film too. Not sure what I was watching at first, disoriented but not bored. Upstairs is a bird which is ok, sort of beguiling but less depth. The whole thing is like being zapped by cinema in one strong espresso shot.
