Helen Marten
British artist Helen Marten (born1985, Macclesfield, lives and works in London) pokes humorously at questions of ownership and dishonesty in materials, the relationship of object to artifact, and package to product. Interested in the grammatical approximations made in workmanship, Marten's oeuvre weaves constant conversations between counterfeit and camouflage. Image is continually tripped up by language, by a deliberateness of error that postures with all the concrete certainty of cultural recognizability. This publication is the first to fully document Marten's extraordinary and extensive recent artistic output. It represents a year-long touring exhibition initiated by the Kunsthalle Züri...
The Boiled in Between
The Boiled in Between is the debut novel by Turner Prize-winning artist Helen Marten, a bold and daring work of fiction which transposes the poetic sensibility of Marten's visual work to the page. It is a challenging, playful, enigmatic, tactile and deliberately ambiguous work of great inventiveness, which will establish Marten as an exceptional talent and unique voice in contemporary fiction. The novel began as an attempt to map the structure and stories of a house; within its tilted, sensuous, alchemical world, characters navigate strange, meticulously indexed landscapes - real and conceptual - to question language and definition and illuminate the associative movements of our minds. Spliced between three voices, the narrative is a project always in movement. The characters traverse these in-betweens: the hot-blooded living world; the curious disembodiment of the imagination; and the rampant snipping away at time in a progression morbidly (and comically) ever closer to death.
Helen Marten
Parrot Problems was Turner Prize nominated British artist Helen Marten's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. Close to an artist book, 40 pages within the catalogue are designed by Helen Marten herself, featuring unique collages. In insightful and precise essays Diedrich Diederichsen and Johanna Burton focus on the 'artist of the hour', who through processes of manipulation, abstraction and shifting resembles recognisable elements anew; piercing the patina of familiarity covering the density and complexity of our everyday material lives. Frozen at full speed in vibration between two and three dimensions, the objects and images by Marten proliferate with models and motifs, which de...

Drunk Brown House
This catalogue is released on the occasion of Helen Marten's exhibition, Drunk Brown House at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery (29 September - 20 November 2016).Marten combines disparate imagery and materials to create eclectic, large scale works. These works often serve as repositories for elaborate sculptural tableaux whose assembled detritus (wood, clay, steel, fabric) create a string of hieroglyphs or a kind of archaeological anagram. Her output includes sculpture, videos, text, and screen-printed paintings.The volume will focus on key artworks produced in recent years, and conceived as an artist book, it will offer detailed perspectives on Marten's meticulous installations. It will include an essay by Brian Dillon that investigates Marten's practice, as well as fictional texts by Travis Jeppesen and Eileen Myles that takes inspiration from the artist's works.Helen Marten is shortlisted for both the Turner Prize, and the Hepworth Prize for Sculpture in 2016
