Little surprise then that he has been nominated for the Turner Prize this year and as such will exhibit brand new work at the Tate Britain come October. As a suitable precursor, however, and by popular demand, Hiorn’s best-known work, Seizure, displayed in a derelict South East London flat last autumn, is once again open to the public (albeit this time in a different location).
Originally shown in October last year for a month, Seizure is a walk-in installation with a difference. Hiorns encouraged a sprawling carpet of sparkling blue copper sulphate crystals to spread virulently over the walls, floors and fittings of the flat – resulting in an eerie walk-in cave in a striking shade of Yves Klein blue.
Commissioned by London-based charity Artangel, Hiron’s compelling mini-world re-opened to the public last month in a low-rise modernist tenement block in Elephant and Castle. Seizure will remain open to the public until mid October, when Hiorn begins his two-month long Turner tenure at Tate Britain.
