CORNELIA PARKER

Cornelia Parker was born in Chesire, England in 1956. Although it is somewhat larger than the artist emerged in the late eighties, their works are genuine time bombs. 

His primary work must be after an explosion that occurred in a small cabin. Parker picked up all the pieces of the cabin that was able to recover and rode his work "Cold Dark Matter: An exploded View". For the artist these explosions are the end of thing, coupled with the idea of death. Today this part is one of the main claims of the collection of the Tate Modern London.

In 1995 she made "The maybe" an installation in collaboration with the artist Tilda Swinton, this installation appeared in the Serpentine Gallery. Cornelia Parker was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997 and in the same year she was artist residence at the ArtPace in San Antonio, Texas. 

Since then she has made important exhibitions such as the gallery of Modern Art in Turin, the ICA in Boston or the ICA in Philadelphia. In London is represented by Firth Street Gallery, by D´Amelio Terras in New York and by Carles Tache in Barcelona. 

The artist admits that in her work there is a certain influence of the comics and the cartoons. Also in his work there is a remarkable degree of humor, but the real essence of this work is in the field, to the destruction and subsequent rebuilding of matter, acquiring forms and various connotations.
