Mike Nelson
Triple Bluff Canyon
Installation view: Modern Art, Oxford
May 8 - July 4, 2004
‘Mike Nelson is known for his large-scale installations made up of sequences of meticulously constructed, interconnecting rooms that suggest real or imagined spaces. To encounter Nelson’s work is to take an active part in a telescoping narrative that merges real and fictional experience. It is a narrative of jump cuts and double takes in which truth and reality are fractured into a multiplicity of perspectives. References to the literary constructions of William Burroughs, Jorg Luis Borges, the Strugatsky Brothers and Stanislav Lem abound in Nelson’s structures, set among more generic tales of piracy, survival, desertion and the covert groupings of the stateless and the subversive.’ Google Arts and Culture.
