Publisher's Synopsis
Although John Isaacs is generally regarded as a sculptor, his praxis incorporates a range of different mediums from found object constructions, to video and photographs. This range emphasizes his world view that buried under the surface of our apparent isolation from one another lies a universal connection from the physical functioning of the bodies we inhabit to the dreams, successes and failures of the individual and society. In that sense, In Advance of the Institution entirely encapsulates and reflects Isaacs’ practice, and with 188 pages of text and full colour reproductions, this publication stands out as an exceptionally interesting piece of art in its own right. Hardback with French fold dust jacket/and book ribbon.
