Liam Gillick's 2019 Half a Complex surveys his work and selected writing since 2008. The title suggests a deliberately unresolvable incompletion at the heart of his work. Distinct bodies of his abstract works are documented in depth, revealing a self-conscious commentary on the conditions of production and reception that surround art today.
The book also includes his exhibitions, public projects, graphic works, films, and collaborations – and features an extensive body of texts by Gillick, who is also a prolific writer and critic of contemporary art.
