Event overview
The Department of Art Public Talks Programme Spring 2019 welcomes artist Ed Atkins.
Ed Atkins is an artist who makes videos, writes and draws, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world — from computer generated imagery to bathetic poetry — are hysterically rehearsed.
Ed Atkins (born 1982, UK) lives and works in Berlin and Copenhagen. Solo presentations include Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; MMK Frankfurt; DHC/ART, Montréal (all 2017); Castello di Rivoli and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; The Kitchen, New York (2016); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2015), The Serpentine Gallery, London (2014); and The Chisenhale Gallery (2012) . An anthology of his texts, 'A Primer for Cadavers', was published by Fitzcarraldo Editions in 2016, and an extensive artist’s monograph from Skira was published in 2017. In early 2019 Ed will have exhibitions at K21, Düsseldorf, and Kunsthaus Bregenz. A novel, ‘Old Food’, will be published in November 2019. Ed is currently a guest professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen.
