Rachel Whiteread
b. 1963, London
Born in 1963, Rachel Whiteread studied painting at Brighton Polytechnic and shifted her focus to sculpture as a student at London's Slade School of Fine Art (1985�. In the early 1990s she began to receive international attention as part of a stylistically diverse group referred to as the Young British Artists. Among her contemporaries, Whiteread has distinguished herself for creating an innovative body of work that reflects a quiet, contemplative spirit, receiving such accolades as the Tate Gallery's Turner Prize in 1993 and a medal at the 1997 Venice Biennale. Throughout Europe and the U.S., her work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions in museums and galleries, and she has realized several public art projects. Most recently, in the summer of 2001, her work was featured in a retrospective at the Serpentine Gallery in London, and a public sculpture entitled Monument was unveiled in Trafalgar Square.

The Unilever Series: Rachel Whiteread11 October 2005 – 1 May 2006
The Unilever Series: Rachel Whiteread- Embankment 這作品是 Rachel Whiteread 對於空間的表達方式, 起初靈感啟發於Rachel Whiteread 的媽媽家, 當時她正要幫去世的媽媽搬遺下的物品… 她發現了一些她童年時期的紙箱。 從那裡使她獲得使用紙箱的塑膠複製品去顯示同描繪她對於空間的想法… 整體完全是她創造的環境空間, 同樣地每一個塑膠箱也代表一個個體的空間…
The latest in the celebrated Unilever Series of commissions for the Turbine Hall has been undertaken by Rachel Whiteread.
As one of Britain's leading contemporary sculptors, Whiteread has undertaken several public commissions. She was awarded the Turner Prize in 1993 for House and, more recently, has completed the Holocaust memorial in Vienna and Monument which was displayed on Trafalgar Square’s empty plinth.
For the Turbine Hall, she has created a gigantic labyrinth-like structure, entitled EMBANKMENT, made from 14,000 casts of the inside of different boxes, stacked to occupy this monumental space. The form of a cardboard box has been chosen because of its associations with the storage of intimate personal items and to invoke the sense of mystery surrounding ideas of what a sealed box might contain.
