151-189 Harper Road next to Elephant & Castle, Artangel and Jerwood have commissioned Roger Hiorns to "invade" the abandoned council flat with his "self-produced" sculpture? process? I'm sure how to call it.
Who cares anyway? The result is stunning, beautiful (even though Hiorns doesn't look for beauty -it is just there as a "collateral damage" of the chemical process).
75,000 litres of copper sulphate solution have created a fairy tale atmosphere to this dreadful "pigeon hole flat", a sad memory of the Brutalist housing projects of the 60's.
10,000 visitors have already found their way to Harper Road and most likely the viewing will be extended so have a look and I wish good luck to Roger Hiorns for the Turner Price.
