Installation view of Kris Ruhs' 'Landing on Earth' exhibition at The Wapping Project

伦敦东部瓦平项目的洞穴式后工业锅炉室画廊，等着像克里斯·鲁斯这样的艺术家把它发挥到最好的用途，因为它最初的目的是多余的。这位伟大的德国出生的美国喜鹊制造者一直致力于这个巨大的空间，直到每一个黑暗的角落，用重新使用的金属，橡胶和木材，收集了意大利各地的大量资源，他在那里做他的大部分工作。

囤积的概念最近受到了影响，被有线电视上描述的几个坏苹果毒害了。但是，很明显，鲁厄斯正在尽他最大的努力，把积极的一面展现出来。在“着陆在地球上”中，他把锅炉房变成了一个名副其实的健身店，放在闪闪发亮的铝制地板到天花板的窗帘后面，每一片都被油漆扭曲和擦伤，就像从一场可怕的事故现场移开一样。

这条长达11米的拼凑的窗帘，让人瞥见了远处的一切。在一个角落，有一个迷宫的轮胎内胎碎片，游客导航，就像推通过一个洗车。Ruhs说，它为这种景象提供了一种“密度”，但同时也提供了一种“柔软”，一种与所有这些不祥的金属相对应的东西。

然后，在房间的中心，从拱形天花板上盘旋下来，一盏吊灯与240个拉库陶瓷倒钩拼合在一起：鹿角？树枝？“每个人都看到了不同的东西，”Ruhs说，他没有给出进一步的解释。在它下面，一个巨大的座椅像一个抛光的石灰缸旋转，所以坚韧的观众可以仰望吊灯的眼睛。

熟悉克里斯·鲁姆斯在米兰画廊与卡拉·索扎尼合作的设计爱好者科索·科莫(Corso Como)可能会认为他主要是一个室内设计师兼珠宝商。所以，看到艺术家完全控制一个和瓦平一样大的空间，这是一种享受。

不过，他并没有把米兰远远抛在后面。在拍摄了他在家里的作坊的混乱后，Ruhs在伦敦设置了放映机来播放这些图像。

The great German-born American magpie-maker has engaged the immense volume of the space, down to every dark corner, with shed-loads of repurposed metal, rubber and wood

The cavernous, post-industrial Boiler Room gallery at The Wapping Project in east London has waited generations for an artist like Kris Ruhs to put it to its best use since its original purpose became redundant

At the centre of the room, spiraling down from the vaulted ceiling, a chandelier has been pieced together with 240 raku ceramic barbs

Ruhs is clearly doing his best to put a positive spin on the concept of hoarding. He's turned the Boiler Room into a veritable body shop, set behind floor-to-ceiling curtains of glinting aluminium, each piece twisted and scratched with paint

The 11-m-long patchwork curtain offers glimpses of what's beyond. In one corner there's a labyrinth of shredded tyre inner tubes that visitors navigate as if pushing through a carwash

It offers a 'density' to the spectacle, says Ruhs, but also a 'softness', a counterpoint to all that foreboding metal

The repurposed material was collected from umpteen sources across Italy, where Ruhs does the bulk of his work
