On Mike Nelson: David Grinly and David Moore in conversation
David Grinly (Stills) and David Moore (Edinburgh College of Art) discuss Mike Nelson’s new work for Fruitmarket: a transient history of Mardin earthworks and low rise, and think about its intersections with both sculpture and photography.
The conversation explores the sophisticated lie of Mike’s practice, and the way in which his spaces tap into a material collective imagination. The speakers talk about the unusual amount of photography in this exhibition and its relationship to ‘stuff’ in the way it is made and displayed.
Hosted by Ruth Bretherick, Fruitmarket’s Research and Public Engagement Curator
Mike Nelson’s exhibition runs until October 2025. For more go to https://www.fruitmarket.co.uk/mike-nelson/
