Cornelia Parker: One Day This Glass Will Break

A Hayward Gallery Touring Exhibition from Southbank Centre, London

Monday 31 January - Saturday 26 February

Cornelia Parker, best known for her large-scale installations, is fascinated by the physical properties of objects and materials, and their histories. In ‘One Day This Glass Will Break’ Parker will present a new body of work that breathes new life into found objects, exploring ideas of the positive versus negative, collapsing time and the compression of three-dimensions into two. Parker’s art is about destruction, resurrection and reconfiguration. Process is important; she frequently transforms objects by using seemingly violent techniques such as shooting, exploding, squashing, cutting, spitting and burning. Through these actions she both physically alters the object and she herself becomes an active participant in the development of its story.
