Frid's Stuff

Hreinn Fridfinnsson - Er...cardboard box lined with lurid pink stuffOo-er! What's this? It's a cardboard box lined with lurid pink ... er ... stuff. Look, never mind the quality, read the blurb: "Hreinn Fridfinnsson is one of Iceland’s leading conceptual artists. His work is celebrated for its lyricism and stark poetry that transcends the often-commonplace subjects and materials that the artist uses to create his pieces". Got that? Gullible enough to believe it? This rubbish is the current exhibition at London's Serpentine Gallery. I chanced upon it while trying to find out if the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2007 had opened yet. No joy. If it is open, the website hasn't been updated. Frid's stuff ends on 2 September 2007.

Thanks, Ludwig. Two days time! I saw some artists' impressions of what the pavillion would look like, but wanted to see photos of the real thing. I'll check out the link.
