Liam Gillick

The book provides a comprehensive overview – compiled by Liam Gillick himself – of the artist’s work, which has accumulated in the past few years to number well in excess of 2,000 works for solo shows and participations. The central motifs of Liam Gillick’s works become apparent in the catalogue. Be it in texts, sculptures, or installations, Liam Gillick’s quest has continually been something of a causal chain that investigates concepts such as utopia, parallelism, space, time, production in terms of their differences. In so doing, the artist isn’t merely concerned with the conditions for production and the resulting aesthetic approach, but rather he seems – as the successor of a radical modernity – to be still searching for a real place for utopia.
