I have never stared so long at an installation piece before. Built in Gallery 13 of the Saatchi, the slick surface appears to be well polished floor reflecting the beams and lines of the ceiling. However, from past experiences I remembered this room as being two storeys tall. Add the smell of oil to the room, and the fact that this is a Richard Wilson, and what do you get? A room literally filled with oil. Ok, not totally filled.. A steel structure covering the span of the room holds about 2" of oil. Nevertheless, the effect is mesmerizing and a must-see if you are in the Sloane Square area.
