They suggest that art could be created by placement.It is one thing to treat imagined soap as an object. “Place (Village)” takes it further, however, by treating the houses as physical, aesthetic constructions, causing their souls to vanish along with their contents. In real life, the beauty of houses in aggregate comes from the whole patchwork of messy memory, rooted in warm doughy snacks, wrestling on a sunny lawn, and the hole left when the kids leave for college. Whiteread purposely absents these things, dislocating the dollhouses...
