Ed Atkins is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Troubled by melancholy, undermined by bathos, and tempered with humor, his works pit a weightless digital life against a corporal world of craft and touch, allegorizing profound experiences of loss, intimacy, and love. This ambitious publication provides a radical survey of his career, assembling a wide range of paintings, writing, embroideries, and drawings alongside the moving-image works for which he is best known. Essays from leading scholars, authors, and curators, alongside previously unpublished behind-the-scenes production photographs and a curated selection of new drawings, collectively probe Atkins's practice to ask: What kind of realism is at stake here?

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The first major UK exhibition and accompanying publication on contemporary artist Ed Atkins.

For over a decade, Ed Atkins has been making videos and animations that trace the dwindling gap between representation and embodied experience. Using his desires, experiences and body as a model, Atkins' works misuse contemporary technologies of representation to critically reflect what they have done to images and our sense of self.

This career-spanning exhibition will assemble paintings, writing, embroideries and drawings alongside Atkins' moving-image works in a succession of large-scale installations.

Troubled by melancholy, undermined by bathos and tempered with humour, Atkins' works pit a weightless digital life against a corporal world of heft, craft, and touch. Overwhelmingly, Atkins' works allegorise loss, intimacy, and love.
