Cerith Wyn Evans (Black Pocketbook Series) (German and English Edition)

The Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans (*1958) eludes easy categorization: in the mid-eighties, he worked as an assistant to the film director Derek Jarman, making both experimental films and music videos for pop bands such as The Smiths and The Fall; he also was a tutor for six years at the Architectural Association. During the 1990s, he consolidated an international reputation as an artist unafraid to embrace highly complex conceptual issues of communication and perception, with dense textual references invariably spliced with a poetically tongue- in-cheek dandyism, whether the writings of William Blake flashed in Morse code off a disco ball; a homage to Pasolini written in fireworks or the cultivation of hybrid orchids in a Parisian gallery, nourished by the artist’s own urine. Cerith Wyn Evans” accompanied the artist’s solo show at the Frankfurter Kunstverein and provides for the first time a comprehensive overview of his body of work.Julie Ault is the author of 'Cerith Wyn Evans (Black Pocketbook Series) (German and English Edition)' with ISBN 9780974568812 and ISBN 0974568813.
