Liam Gillick: Half a Complex

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 prolific writer and critic of contemporary art.
