Richard Branson

October's White Cubicle gallery presentation was by Wolfgang Tillmans, and focussed on a special presentation of an image by Richard Branson. I understood -and this could have been distorted in the telling- that the image had once been Tillmans own portrait of choice for his toilet, and this had led his friend and curator Stefan Kalmar to remark that it was one of his best photographs. It turned out not be by Tillmans at all, but the remark, the image and the man have been honoured or decoded, in this context presented on a wallpaper of other Tillmans imagery. Again White Cubicle proves that a curious, somewhat hygenically challenged context can pull all the punches.
