Li Yuan-Chia

In this book, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at Kettle's Yard, the curators Hammad Nasar, Amy Tobin and Sarah Victoria Turner, establish Li's work at the LYC as a form of worldmaking, connecting his cosmic conceptual art practice, to his interest in participation and friendship as well as his engagement with nature and the landscape.

Nasar, Tobin and Turner's account is accompanied by nine short texts - by Elizabeth Fisher, Ysanne Holt, Annie Jael Kwan, Lesley Ma, Gustavo Grandal Montero, Luke Roberts, Nick Sawyer & Harriet Aspin, Nicola Simpson and Diana Yeh - that trace the diverse threads and ramifications of Li's practice historically and in the present. Richly illustrated, Making New Workds offers a provocative new way of thinking the history of British art in the twentieth century.
