Untitled (One Hundred Spaces) 1997

Rachel Whiteread made "Untitled (One Hundred Spaces)" using resin to cast the interior of different sized spaces. I'm obsessed with this piece! Imagine Whiteread in her studio, surrounded by these molds, each one holding a memory, a shape, a breath of air turned solid. I wonder if she felt like she was curating absences, making the invisible visible. The colors, like faded memories, feel like she’s trying to make the emptiness tangible. Each block is a space, but each block has its own shade: pink, green, blue, yellow. This feels like a conversation with other artists who work with seriality and repetition, like Donald Judd, but with an emotional twist. In a way, she’s reminding us that art is a way of understanding and feeling our surroundings. She is embracing the power of objects to tell stories and evoke emotions. It's not just about the shapes, it's about what those shapes mean to us.
