Description |
To enter Mike Nelson's The Coral Reef is to leave the physical fabric of the city and enter a parallel world. Rooms, doors, passageways, all bear traces of habitation and decay, making narrative promises that are never fulfilled. The visitor to The Coral Reef soon becomes disorientated, even lost, as they explore its depths.
Mike Nelson (b.1967) is one of the leading contemporary artists working in Britain today. He has twice been nominated for the Turner Prize and will represent Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2011. |
