Mike Nelson Magazine, 2003 (example page)
 

Information
Published by Bookworks, co-published with Matt’s Gallery and designed by CHK Design. Magazine is an intricate reconfiguration of a number of Mike Nelson’s acclaimed installations. Nelson has selected, edited and ordered a succession of detailed images encouraging the reader to move through different passages and states whilst negotiating re-cyclings of six of his previous shows. The book has no end point, no definitive reading ­ it is a visual non-linear narrative which suggests an ‘Interzone’ - demonstrating a parallel experience which questions the purpose of Nelson’s constructed spaces and examines what is really going on behind the scenes. Magazine can be experienced both as a memento and as a reading of Nelson’s constructed spaces and represents a logical progression and use of the book form by the artist. Magazine is part of Book Works Opus Projects - a new series of collaborations between artists and co-publishers, funded by Arts Council England’s Publishing and Recording Fund.
