ReviewSeptember 3, 2008Conceptual British painter and filmmaker Sarah Morris turns her attention to Beijing for the latest installment of her ongoing project, which interprets various aspects of a city — architectural, psychological — in large-scale abstract canvases of glossy house paint. In the enormous 2028 (Rings), the ring roads that surround Beijing inspired Morris' interlinked, multicolored circles, echoing the Olympic insignia within a geometric background. Her Origami series concentrates on the ancient Japanese paper art, dividing colors according to the fold lines for traditional designs, as in Swan. Morris' film 1972, meanwhile, juxtaposes an interview with the head psychologist of the Olympic police in Munich — where members of the Israeli team were killed by terrorists in 1972 — with archival footage. The chilling effect provides a striking contrast to her vibrant paintings. -Lucy Davies |
