Mona Hatoum at White Cube

An amazing show! It was the private view so it was very busy but it was really good. Definitely want to go back when it's quieter as I want to really feel the Bunker a bit better.
 As soon as I arrived, I was taken aback by the first installation - Suspended - with 35 red and black wooden swings showing map of cities carved into the seats. Then I went downstairs and saw Bunker - which by the time I knew nothing about it, not even its name. The atmosphere is cold and the scars left on the steel tubes reminded of skin scars, from burnt or bullet wounds. As usual, I went back to the beginning and put my hands on the press release. To my surprise, the installation is about violence, war and conflict in Beirut. OK, knowing about her agenda it wasn't that much of a guess but I honestly felt I was surrounded by painful memories of a place.
Well done! I'll try to go back and see it one more time.
