Visionaries 2016: Cornelia Parker
T
he sculptor and installation artist was nominated by Louisa Buck for continuing to innovate and surprise after more than three decades
Art has no boundaries for Cornelia Parker, OBE. Over the past three decades, the Cheshire-born Turner-nominated artist has stretched bullets into lengths of wire, made drawings from rattlesnake venom, squashed a silver dinner service with a steam roller, sent a meteorite back into space and enlisted the army’s ammunition corps to blow up a garden shed. Now she’s the first British artist to be commissioned to make a site-specific outdoor work for the Roof Garden of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Unveiled this April (19), it will remain in situ until October 31.
