Description

A major new monograph on the ambitious new commission of the iconic British Artist and Turner Prize nominee. Mike Nelson's newly commissioned installation, commissioned on behalf of Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, and The Power Plant, Toronto, presents its audience with the notion of the lone traveller. Drawing on archetypes such as the fur trapper, the pioneering explorer, the Beatnik and the biker, Mike Nelson offers a new reading of the lone traveller, focusing on the significance of these characters in the context of masculinity and spirituality. To accompany this new body of, which comprises Nelson's first solo show in a Canadian institution, Nelson is also producing an ambitious publication that presents developmental imagery alongside installation shots of the new installation. AUTHOR: Jenifer Papararo: Jenifer Papararo is a curator and writer of contemporary art. She currently holds the position of curator at the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver, Canada. SELLING POINTS: • Mike Nelson is an iconic contemporary British artist. He represented Great Britain in the Venice Biennale in 2011 and has been nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize twice. • The publication presents a major new commission which revisits the ideas present in Nelson's The Amnesiacs, first initiated in 1997. • Nelson's new work is an exploration into the notion of the lone, nomadic traveller and references culture and literature as disparate as science fiction and the Beatniks. 160 colour and b/w illustrations
