Damien Ortega at the Barbican

I liked the space at the Barbican. I think it worked well with Ortega's work, both were kind of raw and minimalistic. His artwork dealt with the news and was made in response to certain news articles that hung on the walls next to each piece. I really enjoyed the piece where circular objects hung from the ceiling in size order, they casted interesting shadows on the floor, the thicker the object the darker the shadow and the thinner the object the lighter the shadow. The Other Side 24 Sept 10 was probably one of my favorites. It was simple but successful. The small cubes sat inside the shadow of the bigger pedestal.
