Nottingham Contemporary
Nottingham, United Kingdom 2004–2009
Client: Nottingham City Council
The commission for the Nottingham Contemporary was won in an invited competition organised by the City Council. The artistic ambition of the project, encompassing object-based visual art and time-based performance art, has its origins in the artist-run spaces of downtown New York in the late 1960s, and in the work of artists like Gordon Matta Clark and Trisha Brown, whose work was directly engaged with the spaces of the city.
