Author: Ritchie, MatthewMatthew Ritchie seeks to visualise thought, connecting such fields as philosophy and mythology, and epic poetry and science fiction, through installations of paintings, wall drawings, light boxes, games, sculpture, films and performances. His works challenge social fragmentation by suggesting a unified theory of everything. Published for an exhibition at the Frist Art Museum, this volume examines his paintings, architectural structures, elaborate diagrams and hallucinatory video animations.Employing 'garden' and 'flood' as metaphors for growth and destruction, transformation and renewal, Ritchie encourages readers to 'reimagine the role art could play in whatever form of society may emerge next'.ISBN 9781636810621.
