The prodigal's entertainment with his father discovered; or, A discovery of the sweet and unexpected entertainment that wandering hearts meet with in their returns to God

Gordon Cheung

Deborah Robinson

Gordon Cheung creates hallucinogenic visions inspired by a wide range of sources including science fiction, the literature of authors like J G Ballard and Philip K Dick, 18th century romantic painting, cartoons and current affairs. Uniquely, he prepares his canvases using a collage of stock listings from the Financial Times which he regards as a metaphor for the data-saturated and wealth-obsessed era in which we live. These compelling works reflect on such contemporary issues as the war on terror, religion, economics, globalisation, the digital age and technology. For the exhibition and this accompanying publication, the artist creates a brand new body of work including contemporary interpretations of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Goya's Disasters of War . Published on the occasion of the exhibition Gordon Cheung: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse at The New Art Gallery Walsall, 7 August - 1 November 2009.

Barbara Kruger

This fully illustrated catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist Barbara Kruger at Modern Art Oxford, 28th June - 31st August 2014.Kruger created a major site-specific text installation in Modern Art Oxford's iconic Upper Gallery, as well as exhibiting a number of her celebrated 'paste-ups' from the 1980s, and an immersive four screen video installation.Employing a variety of means from film and collage to text and public installations, Kruger's practice adopts the visual devices of mass media in order to subvert the messaging which advertising, film and online media perpetuate, thereby deconstructing the strategies of power at work in our world today.The publication includes an analysis of her work by Tim Williamson, the Professor of Logic at Oxford University.
