Liam Gillick, half a complex

More about the book

Liam Gillick (*1964, Aylesbury, United Kingdom) is one of the most prominent representatives of new developments in conceptual art. The title of his new publication Half a Complex refers to an interest in systems of development and production, suggesting a sense of deliberate incompletion at the heart of the oeuvre. The distinct bodies of work reveal a self-conscious commentary on the conditions of production and reception that surround art today. Alongside the in-depth documentation of Gillick’s various graphic works, films, and exhibitions since 2008, the monograph features an extensive body of texts by Gillick who is also a prolific writer and critic of contemporary art.
