Claire Barclay is a Scottish arist known for large-scale installations consisting of collections of sculptural objects brought together into precisely plotted relationships. Combining craft and machine-finished processes, and both everyday and precious materials. Barclay's art is precariously balanced between function and dysfunction, understanding and bafflement.
This book is published to accompany a major exhibition of Barclay's work at The Fruitmarket Gallery. It documents significant installations made throughout her career and includes a chronology tracing her mature artistic activity back to 1990. There are new texts by FIONA BRADLEY, PENELOPE CURTIS and CLAIRE DOHERTY, and a conversation between CLAIRE BARCLAY and FRANCIS MCKEE.
As her work is made in and for a particular contexts, and is often dismantled after exhibition, priority is given in this book to images, allowing the works something of an after-life, and the reader and opportunity to trace the development of Barclay's singular sculptural language.
