‘Animal Magnetism’
IN A DEPARTURE from its usual manically

colourful programming, Goldsmiths Centre for
Contemporary Art has put on a show of Nashville-
born sculptor Virginia Overton. Overton is a great
exploiter and explorer of other artists’ works,
and also materially responds to the spaces in
which she shows. So here, we have literal offcuts
from pieces by British luminary Sir Anthony Caro,
and works reflecting the grimy mechanics of the
Goldsmiths building, a former boilerhouse.
This means a lot of gloomy scrap metal:
tubes, I-beams, chutes and jagged rusty sheets.
Despite all this heavy industry, Overton’s works
are mostly domestically scaled, not fuck-off
massive outdoor-type things, like you might
be able to use them as (really uncomfortable)
furniture. One of them even incorporates that
marble lump from the iconic Arco floor lamp, now
supporting a ropey old bit of pipe that Overton
picked up off the street. This kind of tension
populates a lot of her pieces. For instance,
