Reflective Doctor Who T.A.R.D.I.S. on show at Hayward Gallery (BRILLIANT!)

Reflective Doctor Who Tardis on show at Hayward Gallery

It is a shiny new Tardis fit for a Time Lord. But this is not a time machine for Doctor Who but an artwork that looks as if it is disappearing in the middle of a new exhibition.

Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, 2001, is by Mark Wallinger, the Turner Prize-winning artist who is curating the show at the Hayward Gallery.

Ralph Rugoff, director of the South Bank gallery, said the show involved an intriguing mix of objects from the fields of science, politics and anthropology as well as art. It would "amuse, puzzle and engross visitors", he said.

Wallinger has just been chosen for Britain's largest public art commission. He is to create a 50-metre high white horse in the Ebbsfleet Valley in Kent.
