PUBLICATIONS BY TITLE

Carey Young, Incorporated
Alex Farquharson, John Kelsey and Jeremy Millar. Collaborative text by Carey Young and Liam Gillick. Introduction by Steven Bode
Carey Young, Incorporated
ISBN  0 9538634 6 8
PRICE  £9.95

The first publication devoted to the work of Carey Young, an emerging artist whose work provocatively and playfully questions familiar notions of art as a mode of resistance and critique in a world of dissolving boundaries, in which the borders between politics, culture and business seem to have disappeared. Having worked within business for several years, Young presents the role of the artist potentially to be that of an infiltrator within the inner world of the multinational, adopting its language, codes and tools, as well as its tactics of disappearance, in order to offer an insider's perspective on to the formation and control of mass culture.

Childhood's End - Cornford & Cross
Simon Willmoth
Childhood's End -  Cornford & Cross
ISBN  0 95386 343 3
PRICE  £12.00

'Childhood's End' documents the conception and execution of the film installation of the same name by artists Mathew Cornford and David Cross. With the assistance of a military fighter jet (to which a film camera was attached) piloted by a retired Air Vice-Marshal, Cornford & Cross produced a film of the jet describing an 'anarchy' symbol in the skies above Cranfield airbase in Bedfordshire. This large format publication, illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs, includes an extensive interview with the artists about the piece and its relation to their earlier projects.
     
Closing/Close By - Michael Curran and Imogen Stidworthy
Michael Curran, Imogen Stidworthy and Chris Darke
Closing/Close By - Michael Curran and Imogen Stidworthy
ISBN  0 95386 342 5
PRICE  £12.00

An arresting and evocative meditation on the power of cinema and storytelling.

The artists' voices carry into an adjoining space housing a large-scale projection of a looping film sequence shot in the deserted Maryon Park, London. Used as a location in Antonioni's Blow-Up, this space has been aptly described by writer Iain Sinclair as a seductive secret theatre. Echoing with the sound of wind and birds, it evokes a sense of anticipation and unease as well as seeming symbolic of the remembered landscape that the story-tellers have perhaps left behind.
