...real doors, she seems to appreciate the underappreciated object. The most compelling piece, Cabinet XI, along with Whiteread’s paper collages, clarifies the conceptual basis for “Place (Village).” Cabinet XI is a metal cabinet, made of the same material as a gray file cabinet but resembling a medicine cabinet. It contains cast boxes of different sizes, in light yellow, light gray blue, and gray. The small boxes are stacked and fit into the cabinet, again so snugly that their geometry is comforting, even when the idea of using some gray plaster...

He placidly concedes to his partner’s every direction and he is as dull as the video’s gray hues. What’s more, between offers of breakfast in bed and being forced into sexual relations, he finds time to serenade the viewer while playing his invisible piano. Conversely, the lingerie-donning video vixen typifies the average male: she pushes, she shoves, she commands, and she swims through...
