Rachel Whiteread - Profile

Since 1988, the internationally renowned British artist Rachel Whiteread an extensive inventory of domestic life has created. These sensational works, a totally new design in the contemporary plastic introduced, do not jeopardize the positive physical space, but the negative core zones between the bodies and spaces dar. These are, in order to tables, cabinets, bathtubs, sinks, beds, mattresses , floors, living room and stairwells. The works are created in the casting of the "lost form", where the artist next to plaster and wax unusual industrial materials such as rubber, concrete and polyester resin used. In this way, the substances that traditionally used for the manufacture of molds, are the actual material of the sculpture. The mold is identical with the object. Add to "Closet" from 1988 tells the artist: "I just took a closet ... everything away from the inside, laid him flat on his back, drilled holes in the doors and filled the closet with plaster until it overflowed. After the drying process, the wooden cabinet was removed, leaving a perfect copy of the interior. This "art of copy" the artist confronts us with an "inverted world", which leads us the other side and transience (Vanitas) of the hidden inner life in general in mind. (Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum)
