About Untitled (Rooms)

The artwork entitled “Untitled (Rooms),” created by Rachel Whiteread in 2001, belongs to the Post-Minimalism art movement and is categorized as an installation genre.

This commanding sculptural installation features an assemblage of large, uniformly white structures that represent negative spaces, likely interiors of rooms or architectural spaces cast in plaster or another solid material. The geometric shapes and their repetitive forms evoke a stark, contemplative environment, standing in stark contrast to the ornate architectural elements of the gallery space they occupy. Each structure is meticulously formed, displaying minimalistic lines and planes, characteristic of Whiteread’s exploration of spaces and voids. The absence of color and the uniform texture of the materials strengthen the otherworldly and introspective qualities of the installation, inviting viewers to engage with the spaces at a deeper, contemplative level.
