Summary: | Published alongside the Hayward Gallery's hosting of a major solo exhibition by Carsten Höller featuring a wide range of work in different media representing his artistic output from the past 20 years.After obtaining an advanced degree in science, Höller went on to develop a unique art practice that often draws on scientific experiments and research in works designed to affect our psychological and perceptual experience.His works have been shown internationally over the last two decades, including solo exhibitions at Tate Modern (2006, featuring his famous Turbine Hall slide), Kunsthaus Bregenz (2008), and New Museum, New York (2011).Carsten Höller: Decision consists of two uniquely packaged, distinctive publications, examining the work of the acclaimed artist and his particular interest in the challenges, outcomes and effects of decision-making.Book 1 - contains a collection of newly commissioned short stories exploring the theme of decision-making by acclaimed writers Naomi Alderman, Jenni Fagan, Deborah Levy, Helen Oyeyemi, Jonathan Lethem, and Ali Smith. Book 2 - offers a photographic interpretation of the multiple ways of experiencing Höller's immersive work, accompanied by an extensive interview with the artist, led by Ralph Rugoff, Hayward Gallery Director and curator of the show.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Carsten Höller: Decision at Hayward Gallery, London, 10 June - 6 September 2015. |
