A postcard from Limits to Growth laid in, along with a folded poster of Nauru - Notes from a Cretaceous World. Limits to Growth is the first survey catalog… of the engaging and poignant work of Australian multidisciplinary artist Nicholas Mangan (b. 1979). Drawing from his background in history and science, Mangans work addresses a range of themes, including the ongoing impact of colonialism, humanitys effect on nature, contemporary consumption cultures and the complex dynamics of the global political economy. The well-edited and richly illustrated book accompanies a three-venue international museum exhibition bringing together four significant works from the past seven years, plus one new commission. The videos and installations tackle narratives from Mangans own geographical regionAsia Pacific, with Australia playing a colonial roleand weave them into a bigger picture to explore global economy, resource extraction, and the ultimate power of the sun. In-depth conversations between the artist and the Barcelona-based curatorial collective.
