Cornelia Parker (*1956), a celebrated contemporary British sculptor and installation artist, has made a name for herself primarily with her immersive installations. Some of her large-scale works will be the focus of the solo show named after the artist at Tate Britain from 19 May. Parker reshapes domestic objects and thus questions existing world views. Her art of transformation, playfulness and storytelling addresses current issues - violence, environmental issues and human rights are recurring elements of her work.

The solo exhibition brings together works such as Thirty Pieces of Silver (1988 - 89) and Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991), the immersive War Room (2015) and her monumental and collective embroidery Magna Carta (An Embroidery) (2015) with her films and innovative drawings, prints and photographs. Some exhibits will become part of the Tate Britain permanent collection after the exhibition and will dialogue with works to which Parker makes historical reference in the future. The event ends on 16 October.Art.Salon
