Author: McQueen, StevePublished for Steve McQueen’s solo exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca, this comprehensive book features several of his most iconic films from the past two decades, as well as an in-depth exploration of his new work. It includes critical texts by art historians and curators, among them Paul Gilroy and Solveig Nelson, as well as a conversation between the artist and Hamza Walker. McQueen is best known for award-winning films such as 'Widows' (2018) and 'Twelve Years a Slave' (2013).Declared by Time 'one of the most influential people in the world' in 2014, British filmmaker Steve McQueen first presented his work in galleries and museums in the early 1990s, with installations and films influenced by Warhol and French New Wave. (An early friendship with Okwui Enwezor was also formative.) His first major work was 'Bear' (1993), in which two naked men (one of them McQueen) exchange glances that can be interpreted as either flirtatious or threatening. More recently, he directed the five-part film series 'Small Axe' (2020), about London’s Black community and the British Caribbean experience. In 2021, a three-part documentary series, 'Uprising, Black Power: A British Story of Resistance' and 'Subnormal: A British Scandal' (2021) were released as a companion to 'Small Axe', covering the Civil Rights Movement in the UK.ISBN 9791254630082.
