pipilotti twist

Posted by Catherine Jones on June 25, 2008 3:55 PM | 

I spent lunchtime lying on the carpet at FACT with some of the nation's foremost arts critics.
And no, we weren't ill or paralytic - we were just looking at the new Pipilotti Rist exhibition which opens on Friday.
In the ground floor gallery is an installation which is created by layering the softest, softest floor coverings into contoured hills of carpet colour.
You have to take off your shoes to walk on it.
On the ceiling are screens with images of water, rustling leaves and so on - and the idea is you lie or sit on the Ordnance Survey-style carpet hills, chill out and let it all wash over you.
It's soporific and groovy at the same time and I recommend everyone goes and gives it a try.
