Peter Halley - Since 2000 (+DVD) - Musée d'Art Moderne Saint-Etienne Métropole 2014
Peter Halley is a neo-conceptualist known for vibrant geometric paintings that engage in a play of relationships between so-called 'prisons', 'cells', and 'conduits'.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Musée d'Art Moderne of Saint-Etienne, 2014, the book is focused on the period when Halley began to use colors and materials with specific connotations, such as fluorescent Day-Glo paint, mimicking the eerie glow of artificial lighting and reflective clothing and signs, as well as Roll-a-Tex, a texture additive used as surfacing in suburban buildings. As an important part of his work, the titles are all taken from films or TV shows.
Foreword by Jo Melvin.
