Pivotal British multidisciplinary artist Marc Quinn’s practice
explores what it is to be human in the world today. This is the
most comprehensive book to date on the artist’s bold and singular
practice. Marc Quinn came to the attention of the international art
scene in 1991 with Self, a cast of his head realized in eight pints
of his own frozen blood, exhibited in a specially designed
refrigeration unit. With his materials and techniques, Quinn
challenges the boundaries between art and science. Besides using
ice, glass, metal, marble, and lead, he has experimented with
flowers and plants frozen in silicon. Since 1999, he has been
creating sculptures in classic white marble of subjects who lack
one or more limbs. In addressing the purely physical aspects of
life, Quinn confronts the viewer with the chasm between the
physical and the mental, beauty and ugliness, the eternal and the
mortal. This overview of his practice includes a timeline of all
his major works.
Ranging from the mid-19th century to the present, and from
Edinburgh to Plymouth, this powerful collection explores the
significance of locality in queer space and experiences in modern
British history. The chapters cover a broad range of themes from
migration, movement and multiculturalism; the distinctive queer
social and political scenes of different cities; and the ways in
which places have been reimagined through locally led community
history projects. The book challenges traditional LGBTQ histories
which have tended to conceive of queer experience in the UK as a
comprising a homogeneous, national narrative. Edited by leading
historians, the book foregrounds the voices of LGBTQ-identified
people by looking at a range of letters, diaries, TV interviews and
oral testimonies. It provides a unique and fascinating account of
queer experiences in Britain and how they have been shaped through
different localities.
