This publication provides a comprehensive document of Josiah
McElheny's site-specific Bloomberg Commission exhibiting at the
Whitechapel Gallery. Reflection, light and transparency are
defining themes of Modernism and provide a leitmotif for the
American sculptor Josiah McElheny's 2011 Bloomberg Commission, The
Past Was A Mirage I'd Left Far Behind. Seven mirrored, sculptural
screens double, triple and refract the projections of reconfigured
abstract films, proposing a new history of abstraction as a
fragmented, sensory experience. New York-based artist Josiah
McElheny is a sculptor, performance artist, writer and filmmaker,
best known for his use of glass with other materials. For his
Bloomberg Commission he uses light and mirrors to transform the
Whitechapel Gallery into a Hall of Mirrors. This book provides an
introduction to the artist, a record of his new work, and locates
both within the history of art. Lisa Le Feuvre, Head of Sculpture
Studies at the Henry Moore Institute, introduces the work of
McElheny as an observer of history. Daniel F. Herrmann, Eisler
Curator and Head of Curatorial Studies at the Whitechapel Gallery
presents an in-depth account of the commission. Tamara Trodd,
Lecturer for Twentieth Century and Contemporary Art at Edinburgh
University, joins the artist and the curator for a conversation
about the ideas and interests behind this major new commission.
