Synopsis

This volume documents British artist Roger Hiorns' (born 1975) largest show to date, at Kunsthaus CentrePasquArt and Galerie Rudolfinum. Hiorns' installations and sculptures generate and fill gaps between disparate ideas: between construction and destruction, theology and technology, temporariness and performance, authoritarian control and spontaneity.

About this title

Synopsis:

This work contains essays by J. J. Charlesworth and Tom Morton. This publication accompanies the first solo museum exhibition (Milton Keynes Gallery) by the British sculptor Roger Hiorns. His work utilizes chance and reaction in crystallizing car engines (through submersion in copper sulphate) and making ceramic vessels overflow with foam (achieved through detergent and small air compressors). In addition, Hiorns has used drawings, posters, photographs and film to engage with material and object. "If there is one constant that operates through the work of Roger Hiorns, it is that he makes objects and images that contain the paradox of being both inert and alive." - J. J. Charlesworth.
