Mark Bradford: My Head Became a Rock


To accompany Mark Bradford’s inaugural exhibition with the gallery at our Zurich location in mid-2014, Hauser & Wirth released a special limited edition book and art object. Presented in a linen-bound case, the edition takes the form of a Z-fold featuring Bradford’s latest works including his ten-part series entitled Floor Scrapers. In addition, a large-scale reproduction of a single work, folding out like a map, forms the especially exciting component of the publication. Blurring the boundaries between the artist’s studio and the real world, the materially-engaging foldout – which can hang from the wall – invites its audience to interact with and discover it, forming a truly unique contemporary edition.

The Artist

MARK BRADFORD

Mark Bradford (b. 1961 in Los Angeles; lives and works in Los Angeles) is a contemporary artist best known for his large-scale abstract paintings created out of paper. Characterized by its layered formal, material, and conceptual complexity, Bradford’s work explores social and political structures that objectify marginalized communities and the bodies of vulnerable populations. Just as essential to Bradford’s work is a social engagement practice through which he reframes objectifying societal structures by bringing contemporary art and ideas into communities with limited access to museums and cultural institutions.
