A thin length of raw timber leans against a white square on the wall, and its shadow draws a second line across the board. That is Wall (Leaning), one of the new pieces Matsunobe Soshi made for this room, which went from idea to finished show in seven months.

Matsunobe usually works with wallpaper, rubber bands and graffiti. Here the subject is the wall itself, the thing around you all day that you never look at. You walk around a timber stud frame with white boards slotted in, a wall with its skeleton showing, then rough-edged white slabs shrinking from wall height to a block you could hold in one hand.

Entry is free, no ticket. The Triangle is the basement gallery at the northwest corner of the site, reachable from ground level, and one panel stands right behind its glass front. Closed Mondays. On 13 November at 17:00 the artist and the vice-director lead a free gallery talk for about 15 people, first come.

Look for

Wall (Leaning)
A thin length of raw timber leans against a rough-edged white square hung on the wall, throwing a long diagonal shadow across it.
Wall (Inside Out)
A freestanding timber stud frame, taller than you, with white boards slotted between its uprights, so you see a wall from the inside.
Wall (Fragments)
Rough-edged white slabs stand one in front of another in shrinking sizes, from wall height down to a block small enough to hold.
Knot (Wall Drawing)
A tangled, looping scribble cut into a white panel, white on white, mounted on a larger white panel.
Wall (Temporary Object) #1
A tall pale panel stands at an angle just behind The Triangle's glass front, where you can see it from the plaza outside.
