Mike Nelson (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike Nelson is a contemporary British installation artist who was nominated twice for the Turner Prize.
Nelson was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2001 for an installation which replicated a storeroom. The prize was won by Martin Creed. He was nominated again in 2007, when the winner was Mark Wallinger.
His installations exist only for the time period of the exhibition which they were made for. They are generally extended labyrinths, which the viewer is free to find their own way through, and in which the locations of the exit and entrance are often difficult to determine. His "The Deliverance and the Patience" in a former brewery on the Giudecca was in the 2001 Venice Biennale.[1]
In September 2007, his exhibition A Psychic Vacuum was held in the old Essex Street Market, New York.[2]
Nelson is represented by Matt's Gallery.[3]
