Mariele Neudecker SEDIMENT [Paperback]

Mariele Neudecker is a German-born, Bristol-based artist working at the crossover of art and science. Her multimedia practice, which incorporates sculpture, video, painting, and sound, explores the processes and effects of perception, the complexities and contradictions of landscapes and visuality, and the politics of representation and territorialization. The influence of the nineteenth-century German romantic sublime is interwoven alongside inspiration from Neudeckers work with scientists, as a guest artist on the Arts at CERN program, her trips to the Arctic and travel elsewhere.This major monograph, published following an exhibition of the same name at Limerick City Gallery of Art  Neudeckers first comprehensive solo exhibition in Ireland  presents more than 200 works from a 35-year-long career. In addition to a foreword by ?na McCarthy, the gallerys Director and Curator, essays by distinguished academics and curators from across the fields of art and science address diverse areas of Neudeckers practice. A timeline that Neudecker made specially for 'SEDIMENT' concludes the publication.Greer Crawley, an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Drama, Theatre, and Dance at Royal Holloway, University of London, considers Neudeckers archive, studio, and her working processes, while Ariane Koek, an international expert in the field of arts, science, and technology, suggests that the contemporary sublime Neudecker is so often described as seeking is, for her, the very process of perception itself. Her comprehensive introduction to Neudeckers practice also discusses the tank works, for which the artist is best known, in which fiberglass landscapes are suspended in chemical solutions.James Peto, from the Wellcome Collection, London, focuses on issues of representation, post-colonialism, and time, while Alice Sharp, Artistic Director of Invisible Dust, looks at Neudeckers work and collaborations concerning the deep sea.Klaus Dodds, Professor of Geopolitló`
