Tacita Dean

Description

In 2018, the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts will host major exhibitions of the work of Tacita Dean. Each will provide an encounter with the filmmaker's work through a different lens. This book brings together works from all three exhibitions - both new and retrospective - with words by leading novelists and thinkers who provide a unique insight into Dean's chosen genres: landscape, portrait and still-life. Dean first came to the attention of the art world with her 16 mm film The Story of Beard (1992). She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1998 and has since been a powerful advocate for her medium. Published at a career-defining moment, this book provides a new and authoritative view of a hugely influential filmmaker who has been at the forefront of British art for over twenty years.

Description

In her films, photographs and sound works, Tacita Dean uses silence, time and entropy to describe particular human sensibilities. The artist?s most recent works at Kunsthaus Bregenz are monumental chalk drawings on blackboards and her film Antigone ? both generate timeless imagery rooted in history creating timeless potent symbols.The large-size photographied works are accompanied by texts, that Tacita Dean partly wrote especially for this KUB artist?s book. Exhibition: Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (20.10.2018 - 06.01.2019).
