The Days of the Child Prodigy are Over

Artist/Author: Rakel McMahon, Bergpora Snaebjornsdottir | Reference: P2146 | Type: Publication

The Days of the Child Prodigy are Over is a project that began in 2011. It started with a dialogue between Rakel McMahon and Bergpora Snaebjornsdottir, a.k.a Wunderkind Collective, where one used drawings and the other texts to communicate. The aim being to explore the idea of the genius from the point of view of individual experience and its implicit absurdity – the conflict that arises when a person tries to search for meaning in a universe he or she can never understand the inherent meaning of.

Humancraft: Contaminating Science with Art

Artist/Author: Gina Czarnecki | Editor: Boo Chapple, Sarah-Jayne Parsons | Reference: P2137 | ISBN: 978-0-953-899616 | Type: Publication

In a context of collapsing certainties about Europe’s economic and political system, the resurgence of actions towards collective responsibility-making, the timing of this book is perfect. Czarnecki springs open trapdoors back into childhood imagination and causes us to look again at how we address issues of human responsibility to each other and to the world which we hold in common. This is art that responds to the often white-coated ‘cleanliness’ of scientific research.

Renegotiating the Body: Feminist Art in 1970s London

Artist/Author: Kathy Battista | Reference: P2121 | ISBN: 978-1-84885-961-6 | Type: Publication

Primarily concerned with the feminist body as a site for making and exhibiting works, this book examines themes that look at the body as material, the body and performance, as well as the alternative creative platforms in 1970s feminist art. Drawing on original material – never-before-seen images from artists’ personal collections and commissioned interviews with prominent artists from the period – the book is an invaluable resource for artists, researchers, curators and students interested in recovering this period from the margins of art history.

This item is part of the ‘Glimpses of before: 1970s UK Performance Art’ Study Room Guide by Helena Goldwater (P2497)

The Bruce Lacey Experience: Paintings, Sculptures, Installations and Performances

Artist/Author: Bruce Lacey, David Alan Mellor | Reference: P2129 | ISBN: 978-1-907208-28-7 | Type: Publication

He could be considered a latter-day English Dadaist, but Bruce Lacey's place in 20th-Century British Art is still uncharted and ill-attended to. He goes missing in critical accounts of mid- and late-century art and this short monograph is an attempt to remedy the omission by analysing his work in relation to the shifting cultural contexts of the period.
