Mona Hatoum: Remains to be seen

The White Cube Bermondsey presents a great exhibition of Mona Hatoum’s work. Comprised mostly of monotone geometric forms in a range of sizes, I was particularly taken with the magnetic ‘Dark Matter’ and gridlike ‘Remains to be Seen’.

PIeces of concrete are suspended between lengths of steel in a regular grid pattern.
