The renowned artist talks about interviewing Noam Chomsky and painting with poison
Turner-prize nominated artist Cornelia Parker is famous for steamrolling the instruments of an entire brass band; blowing up a garden shed and suspending the fragments in a Tate Gallery room;Ìýand wrapping Rodin’s sculpture The Kiss in a mile of string. She has made earplugs out of dust from the Whispering Gallery in St Paul’s Cathedral, plucked feathers from Sigmund Freud’s pillow, and stretched out a teaspoon to measure the Niagara Falls. Two new exhibitions of her work are about to open at the Whitechapel Gallery and the Frith Street Gallery, both in London.
Exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery: 13 February – 30 March 2008
Exhibition at Frith Street Gallery 7 March – 24 April 2008 |
