Cornelia Parker
Frith Street Gallery, London
For some years Cornelia Parker's work has been concerned with formalising things beyond our control, containing the volatile, making it into something that is quiet and contemplative like the 'eye of the storm'. She is fascinated with processes in the world that mimic cartoon 'deaths' - steamrollering, shooting full of holes, falling from cliffs and explosions.
For some years Cornelia Parker's work has been concerned with formalising
things beyond our control, containing the volatile, making it into something
that is quiet and contemplative like the 'eye of the storm'. She is fascinated
with processes in the world that mimic cartoon 'deaths' - steamrollering,
shooting full of holes, falling from cliffs and explosions. Through a
combination of visual and verbal allusions her work triggers cultural
metaphors and personal associations which allow the viewer to witness the
transformation of the most ordinary objects into something compelling and
extraordinary.
In the last two years, Parker has had solo exhibitions at Galleria d'Arte
Moderna e Contemporanea, Turin, Italy, ICA Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Aspen
Museum of Art, Colorado, Chicago Arts Club and the ICA Boston. She was
nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997. Parker's work is represented in many
international collections including The Arts Council of England, Tate Britain,
Milwaukee Art Museum
Installations by Cornelia Parker can currently be viewed at Tate Britain,
London (New Displays) and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (work
commissioned for the New British Galleries)
