Industry and Intelligence
The history of modern art is often told through aesthetic breakthroughs that sync well with cultural and political change. From Courbet to Picasso, from Malevich to Warhol, it is accepted that art tracks the disruptions of industrialization, fascism, revolution, and war. Yet filtering the history of modern art only through catastrophic events cannot account for the subtle developments that lead to the profound confusion at the heart of contemporary art. In Industry and Intelligence, the artist Liam Gillick writes a nuanced genealogy to help us appreciate contemporary art's engagement with history even when it seems apathetic or blind to current events. Taking a broad view of artistic creatio...

Erasmus is Late
Tiré du site Internet de Book Works: "Tiré du site Internet de Book Works: "The central character of Erasmus is Late is Erasmus Darwin, opium-eater and brother of the more famous Charles who is indeed late. Late for a dinner party that he himself is giving and whose illustrious guests, already assembled around his table, include: Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense under Kennedy; Masura Ibuka, co-founder of Sony; and Murry Wilson, father of Brian Wilson. Whilst the guests wait, Erasmus dawdles through contemporary London becoming waylaid by different sites, which represent for Gillick, the development of free-thinking; Gillian Gillick, the artist's mother, illustrates these sites with line drawings. Erasmus Darwin epitomises for Gillick the activity of free-thinking; a form of political pursuit dependent on wealth and leisure and problematic in its relationship to 'unfree' thought and the working classes. On one level a guide to contemporary London seen through the eyes of a Georgian, Erasmus is Late is also an examination of pre-Marxist positions, an ill-researched investigation of a Utopian optimism that is struggling to predict the future."

Meaning Liam Gillick
The first critical reader on one of today's most pivotal (and perplexing) contemporary artists. Liam Gillick emerged as part of the generation of “Young British Artists” who energized the British art scene in the 1980s and 1990s. He is now one of the most influential (and perplexing) artists in all of contemporary art. Gillick's discursive mode of art practice—often associated with “relational aesthetics”—complicates object production, embraces the exhibition as medium, and explores the social role and function of art. His body of work includes variations on “discussion platforms” (architectural structures that question or facilitate social interaction), text sculptures, and ...

This publication is a selected survey of Liam Gillick's groundbreaking projects, installations, methods, and practices, which challenged the orthodox presentation and reception of art through the 1990s.Considering the relationship between the artist, the institution, and the audience to be mutually codependent in the creation of meaning, Gillick created situations in which the outcome was incomplete without the institution's involvement and the questioning of the expanded role of the exhibition visitor.From Nineteen Ninety A to Nineteen Ninety D includes the artist's original texts from the 1990s, new essays by Yves Aupetitallot, Tom Eccles, Paul O'Neill, and Jörn Schafaff, and contributions from the many collaborative partners and students who restaged Gillick's work within exhibitions at CCS Bard, Hessel Museum, Annandale-on-Hudson (2013) and the École du Magasin, Grenoble (2014).Published with Le Magasin, Grenoble, and CCS Bard Hessel Museum.
Liam Gillick
Liam Gillick (*1964, Aylesbury, United Kingdom) is one of the most prominent representatives of new developments in contemporary art. The title of his new publication Half a Complex refers to an interest in systems of development and production, suggesting a sense of deliberate incompletion at the heart of the oeuvre. The distinct bodies of work reveal a self-conscious commentary on the conditions of production and reception that surround art today. Alongside the in-depth documentation of Gillick's various graphic works, fi lms, and exhibitions since 2008, the monograph features an extensive body of texts by Gillick who is also a prolifi c writer and critic of contemporary art.

Proxemics
Critical essays by Liam Gillick, most of which were originally printed in art magazines or exhibition catalogues. Known for his ingenious reinterpretation of Conceptual and Minimalist art, Liam Gillick has often used language, whether in type on a wall or on a page, as a site of artistic, theoretical, and political intervention. He was active in the largely European 1990s art scene that included Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe, Carsten H. ller, Angela Bulloch, Douglas Gordon, and Rirkrit Tiravanija. The book also examines the recently renewed interest in Felix Gonzalez-Torres, John Baldessari, and Allen Ruppersberg.
