Mr Tara Plumbing and I have been on the Artangel mailing list since 2004 when we went to see

GREGOR SCHNEIDER
Die Familie Schneider in London

Two east London Terraced houses had been made to look identical, and room were divided in to smaller rooms.  This is what Schneider is known for.  Visitors had to explore each house individually, by appointment only.  The atmosphere inside the houses was oppressive, creepy, scary, sinister – you just need to experience it.    In each house there were people – also looking identical – women washing up at the sinks; men masterbating in the showers; and some weird stuff going on in the bedroom. It was an experience I shall never forget.

If you happen to be in Australia within the next week or so, there is a Schneider creation on Bondi Beach.
