Reflecting on the history and politics of landscape design, and the extent to which it was informed by the conventions of classical painting, the book features essays by Sophie Howarth and Steven Bode, and an interview with the artist by Simon Willmoth.Published by Film and Video Umbrella.

In so doing, he also acknowledges its suggestive power, and the alluring, seductive visual qualities of the medium, whilst maintaining a certain critical distance in his extraction and re-evaluation of its components.This catalogue provides a survey of Lewis’ film works from 1995-2000, featuring contributions from Charles Esche, Steven Bode, Lizzie Francke and Catherine Pavlovic.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295174537589,"sku":"9780953863402","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780953863402_b34d8eb5-a96c-4faf-b48e-cc4135715b9a.jpg?v=1786015936"},{"product_id":"9780953863457","title":"It could happen to you: A K Dolven","description":"The first English-language publication dedicated to the work of Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Dolven, ‘It Could Happen to You’ catalogues five film and video ‘portraits’ produced between 2000 and 2001.

Having worked within business for several years, Young presents the role of the artist potentially to be that of an infiltrator within the inner world of the multinational, adopting its language, codes and tools, as well as its tactics of disappearance, in order to offer an insider’s perspective on to the formation and control of mass culture.

The artists’ works respond in different ways to the theme of ‘Borrowed Time’, with its allusion to escalating levels of personal and national debt and a wider feeling of economic unease or ecological threat caused by our exploitation of natural resources and the impact it has on the environment.With dedicated texts by Steven Bode and an essay by Laurence Scott, the publication probes these ideas and explores the ways in which the theme resonates with the new works by Kramer and Williams.The Jerwood\/FVU Awards are a collaboration between Jerwood Charitable Foundation and FVU in association with CCA, Glasgow and University of East London.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313108562293,"sku":"9781904270409","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781904270409_e52dddae-c3ac-4a93-b84b-683dc111aefc.jpg?v=1786029558"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-steven-bode.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
