{"product_id":"ed-atkins","title":"Ed Atkins","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Accompanying a new major exhibition of contemporary artist Ed Atkins, this career-spanning publication assembles paintings, writings, embroideries and drawings alongside Atkins's moving-image works in a succession of large-scale installations.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;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's works misuse contemporary technologies of representation to critically reflect what they have done to images and our sense of self.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Troubled by melancholy, undermined by bathos and tempered with humour, his works pit a weightless digital life against a corporal world of craft and touch, allegorising profound experiences of loss, intimacy, and love.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;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 Essays from leading scholars, authors and curators, alongside previously unpublished behind-the-scenes production photographs and a curated selection of new drawings collectively probe Atkins' practice to ask: what kind of realism is at stake here?\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardback | 224 pages | Published April 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63966849761629,"sku":"9781849769358","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/content_6455defa-9053-40ee-a00f-a66e276676dd.png?v=1774350235","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/ed-atkins","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
