Paul McCarthy The King, The Island, The Train, The House, The Ship

Some of the most significant sculptures and installations from the America based artist Paul McCarthy are now presented in Hauser & Wirth Gallery in London. He made large kinetic sculpture, combining political figures and pop culture. He create this  mechanical sculptures as an extension of his performance-based art since the early nineties. His  ‘Mad House Jr.’ work  is a small room-like cube with windows and a doorless entry. The cube shakes and spins rapidly whilst a small camera installed inside the cube records all of its movements. This footage is then projected into the space, creating an environment of physical and mental disorientation.
