This new monograph on Anne Tallentire offers the most comprehensive overview of the legendary conceptual artist’s work to date, spanning the last ten years of her practice.
The publication includes new essays by Chris Fite-Wassilak, Joseph Noonan-Ganley, Sara Greavu, Lawrence Leaman, Lisa Panting and Adrian Rifkin, a text work by Sarah Jones, an interview with Jaki Irvine, a reprinted essay by the late Jean Fisher, and a foreword by Ros Carter and Hugh Mulholland.
The book is also edited by Alex Bennett and designed by Daly & Lyon.
Tallentire encourages us to think again about the spaces and environment that we inhabit. Questions of how we occupy both public and private space are brought to the fore in works that utilise everyday materials, systems and structures.
