Wallpaper Magazine: Anri Sala’s subterranean installation is out of this world

Wallpaper magazine writer Amah-Rose Abrams details Anri Sala’s installation in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern in an online article. Abrams walks readers through the inspiration and background informing Sala’s Time No Longer, following this with related information to Sala’s past installations in other large-scale venues.
