Présentation de l'éditeur
Turner Prize nominee Roger Hiorns (b. 1975) is perhaps best known for his sculptures made using copper sulphate solution. For 'Seizure' (2008), he flooded a condemned council flat in South London with this material, turning it into a glittering blue cave for visitors to explore, and his 2004 work 'Nunhead' coats a car engine in the jewel-like chemical crystals, representing the 'crystallisation and transformation of an abstract idea of power'. In 'Untitled' (2010) - originally commissioned by the Art Institute of Chicago - Hiorns has explored his interest in automation and industrial forms further. The work consists of two decommissioned aircraft engines. Once part of military surveillance planes which have been altered through the insertion of three pharmaceuticals in crushed form - Effexor, Citalopram and Mannitol. The work references the creation and alleviation of anxiety on both a national and personal level, addressing the connection between global security and individual well-being. With beautiful photography throughout, a fascinating and poetic critical text by Tom Morton, this book sheds new light on the practice of one of contemporary art's most thoughtful and innovative figures.

Hard cover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First edition. Limited to 1500 copies; scarce thus. "Destined to be remembered as one of the truly worthwhile and significant moments of modern British art" (Jonathan Jones, The Guardian), In 2008 Roger Hiorns, commissioned by Artangel and the Jerwood Charitable Foundation, transformed an empty council flat in Southwark, London, into a sparkling blue environment of copper sulphate crystals. Seizure was created using 75,000 litres of liquid copper sulphate, which was pumped into the former council flat to create a strangely beautiful and somewhat menacing crystalline growth on the walls, floor, ceiling and bath of the abandoned dwelling. This book reflects on the experiences of the work, with an introductory section of notations, sketches, and research notes, and an extensive interview with the artist. Roger Hiorns (born 1975) is a British Contemporary artist who works in London. His primary media is sculpture and installation, using a wide variety of materials, including metals, wood and plastics. He also works in the media of video and photography. N° de réf. du vendeur SKU2010026697

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
