Cornelia Parker’s art is about destruction, resurrection, and reconfiguration. Demonstrating the importance of process, she frequently transforms objects by using seemingly violent techniques such as shooting, exploding, squashing, cutting, dropping, and burning. Through these actions she both physically alters the object and becomes an active participant in the development of its story.
Made in close collaboration with the artist, this lavishly illustrated publication will explore these relationships in a fascinating survey that will encompass all aspects of Parker’s career from the late 1970s to the new work being made today.
