Author Description

"MIRRORCITY: London artists on fiction and reality contains two distinctive publications that uncover the themes that artists are exploring in the city today, specifically the increasingly entanged ways in which our physical and virtual lives collide in the digital age. Tom McCarthy's MIRRORCITY newspaper is a unique response to the questions, created in collaboration with the artists in the Hayward Gallery exhibition of the same name, with contributions by renowned writers Chloe Aridjis, Deborah Levy and Stewart Home. The newspaper is accompanied by a 64-page 'supplement' documenting the works in the show - many made especially for the exhibition - with focused texts on each artist and an introduction by Chief Curator Stephanie Rosenthal"--Information sheet.
