Marc Quinn, one of the Young British Artists who came to prominence in the 1990s, produces a diverse range of work, much of which is preoccupied with the changing physical states of the human body. Increasingly, his work addresses ideas around mortality and survival in the age of genetic manipulation. This book, which contains two extensive interviews with Quinn, accompanies an exhibition held in early 2002 at Tate Liverpool. It features a large body of exciting new work, including painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography. The artist has been closely involved in the development of this book, handwriting all the captions and picturing his baby son on the jacket.
This volume accompanies the exhibition Marc Quinn: Chemical Life Support held from 4 March to 9 April 2005.
This striking exhibition book features photography that showcases Marc Quinn's new and existing sculptures, paintings, drawings, and evocative frozen works. Light into Life encompasses monumental sculptures in the Kew landscape alongside a gallery exhibition that examines our complex and often challenging relationship with the natural world. It includes newly conceived artworks inspired by Kew's archives, scientific research, and horticulture. These are accompanied by a selection of existing pieces, many of which explore the idea of nature as a fundamental part of humanity, a prominent focus of Marc Quinn's practice since the 1990s. Together, the works explore our common biological origins and reflect on humanity's capacity to both preserve and destroy nature. Quinn's reflective artworks are well-presented in the exhibition book's gloss paperback format, with stunning imagery seamlessly spanning multiple pages, alongside an essay by Francesca Gavin and contributions by Prof. William J. Baker and Dr. Melanie-Jayne Howes. The saddle stitch binding allows the book to lay flat, showcasing this spectacular body of work.
