Synopsis
This is the first book on the young, upcoming British artist David Cotterrell. Cotterrell plays with the tradition of eccentric inventions, incorporating customised technology in humorous and political site specific works. Since the mid 90s Cotterrell has exhibited internationally both in and outside conventional gallery spaces, invading the public arena in unexpected ways, as with his man-made geyser, which spurts water high into the air from the middle of a suburban park every day at an allocated time. Cotterrell was selected for the Becks Futures Awards at the ICA, London, 2002 and is working on a number of public commissions in the UK and internationally. The Impossible Project includes texts by writer and curator Caryn Faure Walker as well as responses to Cotterrell's work from the fields of science, technology, history and politics. 80 colour & b/w illustrations

Softcover. Condition: As new. David Cotterrell is an installation artist working across media and technologies to explore the social and political tendencies of a world at once shared and divided. The practice is typified by an interest in intersection: whether fleeting encounter or heavily orchestrated event, Cotterrellās works explore the human condition and the breaks or nuances that can lead to a less ambiguous understanding of the world they inhabit. Encapsulating the roles of programmer, producer and director, Cotterrell works to develop projects that can embrace the quiet spaces that are the sites for action, which might (or might not) be clearly understood in the future. Cotterrellās work has been commissioned and shown extensively in Europe, the United States and Asia. He is Professor of Fine Art at the University of Brighton and is represented by Danielle Arnaud.S09 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
