The inner space man

Rachel Campbell-Johnston (The Times)
Tuesday January 27 2009

There is always something unsettling about the rooms that Gregor Schneider constructs and his latest is no exception.

Your heart should be pounding. A major new installation by the German artist Gregor Schneider opens at the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester next week. Kinderzimmer will consist of a reconstruction of an abandoned nursery from a derelict village near the artist’s Rhineland home. Visitors will be invited into a completely dark space, a discombobulating, deserted blackness, while, in another room, a film of the abandoned world where this nursery once stood will be running.
