Longplayer

Besides Hiorns's Seizure, another Artangel project I have experienced was its sound project Longplayer - a computer-generated music piece which will play for 1000 years without repetition.  It started playing at midnight on 31 December 1999 and will continue playing until 31 December 2999.  You can hear it at the top of the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf in east London.  It is hard to believe that when I visited there in December 2009, it has already been playing for almost ten years non-stop.

Seizure

London-based Artangel has produced a few unique art projects.  With Seizure, Roger Hiorns has turned the idea of sculpture inside out.  Rather than presenting a sculpture inside an architectural space, Hiorns has turned every surface of an architectural space into a sculpture.  In December 2009, I saw an abandoned apartment in south London entirely covered, walls and ceilings, by blue copper sulphate crystals.

In The Days Of The Comet

Just came back from London.  The British Art Show 7 "In The Days Of The Comet" at Hayward Gallery is a must-see for lovers of contemporary art.  It features numerous big names in the contemporary British art scene including my personal favourites Karla Black, Steven Claydon, Roger Hiorns and Ian Kiaer.  Many have appeared in Saatchi Gallery's recent Newspeak British Art Now.
