Publisher's Synopsis
The artistic practice of Geoffrey Farmer integrates forms of collecting and scholarship employed by cultural historians and draws on a diverse repertoire. After extensive research, the artist builds collections that unite aspects of visual art, literature, music, politics, history and sociology, and crystallise in sprawling theatrical installations. This publication offers a detailed insight into Farmer's complex installation 'Let's Make the Water Turn Black' and contextualises it with his other script-based sculptural and kinetic works since the early 1990s.
