Saatchi Oil Spill






This is the first Richard Wilson instillation I have seen (or smelled), but I will be keeping an eye out for more in the future. In the basement of the Saatchi gallery this black pool of petrol makes for a fascinating instillation. The perfect black mirror plays with the viewers perception and is powerful not only in odor.

The pictures don't do it justice. Go see for yourself and than tell me how they are going to get all of that oil out of there.
