Tacita Dean

'Teignmouth Electron' deals with the tragic and extraordinary story of amateur yachtsman, Donald Crowhurst, who was one of eight competitiors in the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, the first single-handed non-stop around the world yacht race.

"Tacita Dean is internationally known for her compelling work in film and other media. This book is a survey of her work from the mid-1990s to the present. Fully illustrated in colour, it contains an introduction by Clarrie Wallis." --Book Jacket.

This 'exhibition in a book' presents some of the most challenging art to address the function of place in the contemporary world. Arranged into themed 'rooms', it covers crowded city streets, the wilds of nature, as well as fantasy worlds of the artists'own creation.

"The artist's edition of Monet Hates Me (2021) was designed as 'an exhibition in a box'. All the original materials for the edition was found by Tacita Dean in the Getty Research Institute Special Collections in Los Angeles while she was artist in residence, 2014-2015 ... The fifty objects in the artist's edition were designed and produced by Tacita Dean in Berlin, in collaboration with Martyn Ridgewell in Penryn, Cornwall. Nearly all were conceived and made during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns between March and December 2020"--Introductory text.
