Simon Starling
'Cuttings [Supplement]' is produced in association with Starling's solo exhibition at The Power Plant in 2008. The exhibition features the newly commissioned work 'Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore)' (2007-8), a piece that collapses the history of Henry Moore's sculpture, 'Warrior with Shield' (1953-4), with the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Ontario. This publication is a companion piece to 'Cuttings' (2005), but stands on its own with essays focusing on the commissioned sculpture and new works made since Starling won the Turner Prize in 2005. 'Autoxylopyrocycloboros' (2006), 'Nachbau (Reconstruction)' (2007), and 'Wilhelm Noack oHG' (2006) are accompanied with explanatory texts and colour illustrations."--Publisher's description on Power Plant website, last accessed July 23, 2008.

Simon Starling
British conceptual artist Simon Starling (born 1967) interrogates the histories of art and science, as well as other subjects such as economic and environmental issues, through a wide variety of media including film, installation and photography. Published for his first survey exhibition at a major American museum, Simon Starling: Metamorphology highlights a fundamental principle of Starling's practice: an almost alchemistic conception of the transformative potential of art, or of transformation as art. The Turner Prize-winning artist's working method constitutes recycling, both literally and figuratively: repurposing existing materials for new, artistic aims; retelling existing stories to produce new historical insights; linking, looping and remaking. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in tandem with the Arts Club of Chicago, and features essays by MCA Chicago senior curator Dieter Roelstraete, Arts Club of Chicago executive director Janine Mileaf in collaboration with Simon Starling, and Tate Modern curator Mark Godfrey.

Simon Starling: Under Lime
Plants and images of plants, motors and power systems, physical and cultural transfers are the mainstay of Simon Starling's exhibition Under Lime. In the three installations on display, the unconventional use of machines as modes of transport and energy supplies is not only alluded to: it is seen in action. The ensemble demonstrates, simply yet strikingly, how vital it is that the precarious balance of the atmosphere be maintained both to sustain the natural processes of plant life and for the presentation of works of art. English and German text.
Front to Back
In his provocative installation works, UK conceptualist Simon Starling tells stories about natural and cultural processes of transformation. "He displaces, inverts, reserves and remakes existing things with self-conscious, ironic amateurishness. He is a tinkerer with objects of design and bits of history, an alchemist of arcana and late modernism," according Michael Kimmelman of "The New York Times." This volume presents three projects by Starling: in "Kakteenhaus," (2002), an Andalusian cactus is transplanted to Berlin's winter, where a converted automotive engine ensures its survival; "Plant Room" (2008) creates a mud-brick chamber for sensitive historical photographs; and for "Under Lime" (2009), Starling cut a lime branch from the nearby "Unter den Linden" boulevard and grafted it beneath the Kunsthalle's rafters.

Simon Starling, in Speculum
The first career survey of the Turner Prize-winning artist's work in Australasia, Simon Starling: In Speculum, brings together a major new commission and key works from the artist's oeuvre that focus particularly on the site of the studio and workshop, and relationships between art, technology, history and modernity. This aspect of Starling's research-based practice reflects the form and process of manufacture in both structure and concept. An artist who often works site-specifically and in response to local geographies, Starling has developed a new work for In Speculum that engages the Great Melbourne Telescope (1868-69). Currently under restoration at Museum Victoria, the telescope was one of the largest in the world at the time of its production in the 19th century. Starling's new project continues his interest in early scientific exploration and astronomy. -- Exhibition website.
