Mash Up is the first comprehensive monographic publication dedicated to the work of London based artist Anthea Hamilton, following her survey exhibition at M HKA in 2022. For over two decades, Anthea Hamilton has developed a complex practice which spans sculpture, installation, film and performance. This book presents for the first time the full scope of Hamilton’s artistic production and gives prominence to the artist’s creative and independent spirit. It opens with a mashup of images featuring textures, details, patterns and collages weaving their way into and out of the work. The section ‘Spaces’ features past exhibitions and projects in a way that attests to the artist’s commitment to ambitious spatial interventions, starting with M HKA in 2022 and going back in time all the way to Hamilton’s first individual exhibition, at Ibid. Projects in 2006. The last section of the book presents the artist’s complete production through an illustrated catalogue raisonné of individual works arranged in chronological order – of exhibitions, performances and collaborations – from 1999 to 2022.
