Like Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Gordon Matta-Clark, and maybe a handful of other artists, Rachel Whiteread is known and appreciated by architects because buildings are often the subject and sometimes the media of her art. Take House, the 1993 sculpture in concrete that won her the Turner Prize: the walls, floors, and roof of a three-story house were literally the formwork for the massive artwork. Whiteread has created numerous cast-in-place “buildings” since, but the video interview reveals that there is more to her artwork than concrete: other materials and other ways of working with them. Like other Louisiana Channel videos, Things That Remain is worth watching.
