Extinction Beckons

A new, major survey of the influential British artist, Mike Nelson, famed for his psychologically charged, labyrinthine installations.

Although Nelson’s extraordinary output has cemented his position internationally, his oeuvre has not previously been explored in a major publication. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, this book juxtaposes new writings with classic texts on seminal works. It includes new essays by Yung Ma and Dan Fox along with a comprehensive ‘lexicon’ of the artist’s practice by Helen Hughes.

The book also features a new interview with Nelson by Katie Guggenheim; a selection of previously published texts on key artworks by Richard Grayson, Jaki Irvine, Jeremy Millar and Mike Nelson; and a full exhibition history and bibliography. Also featured are images and ephemera from Nelson's studio archive, many of which have never been published before.
