Description
Aquatopia is a major touring exhibition exploring the imaginary of the ocean deep, featuring several dozen artists - from J.M.W. Turner to recent Turner Prize nominees Spartacus Chetwynd and The Otolith Group. The exhibition is a cross-disciplinary exploration of the aquatic, encompassing literature, maritime and cultural history, psychoanalysis, post-colonial and feminist theory. With new essays by Philip Hoare, David Toop, Celeste Olalquiaga and Simon Grant, this is an anthology of oceanic texts illustrating the works in the exhibition.
