Jyll Bradley - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

First fully illustrated monograph on internationally renowned artist, Jyll Bradley, featuring all aspects of her work from the 1980s to the present day.

Running and Returning is the first comprehensive monograph of internationally acclaimed artist Jyll Bradley, whose diverse practice spans over four decades and encompasses photography, film, writing, performance, sculpture and large-scale public installations. A pioneer of adopting commercial lightbox technology in art, Bradley is renowned for her use of minimalist, industrial forms as spaces for exploring identity, spirituality and community. Her ambitious public realm artworks, such as Green/Light (for M.R.) (Folkestone Triennial), Dutch/Light (Turner Contemporary) and The Hop (Hayward Gallery), reflect her innovative approach to sculpture as a potent gathering place of people and ideas.

This richly illustrated book features some of the most exciting voices in contemporary art and literature exploring every aspect of Bradley's multifaceted practice. Running and Returning will provide a vital resource for those familiar with Bradley's work, while introducing her to new audiences in an accessible, engaging and imaginative way.
