A major new work by London-based contemporary British video artist Hannah Rickards at the Fogo Island Arts, Grey Light is a two-screen projected video installation with eight channels of sound. Structured rhythmically around the pattern of a foghorn sounding, the piece embraces the foghorn as an auditory marker for non-visibility, or imagelessness. This slender exhibition catalog and artist book, the second publication from Fogo Island Arts, features Rickards striking new photographic imagery drawn from the installations materials and production process. Like Rickardss work, the publication aims to bridge the distance between visual experience and its expression in language, whether spoken, written or gestural. Text by British arts writer Melissa Gronlund and conversation between Rickards and internationally distinguished curator Nicolaus Schafhausen. Rickardss work has been widely exhibited in Canada, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Whitechapel Gallery, London, Johann Koenig, Berlin and Witte de With, Rotterdam.

This is the first publication on the work of Hannah Rickards and explains her meticulously researched and executed works which explore the elusive landscape of perception, language and translation.Rickards' attention is particularly drawn to natural phenomena such as thunder, mirage, and the aurora borealis. She closely examines these occurrences - and how we experience them - through moving image, audio and installation works.The artist's scrupulous and investigative methodology involves the detailed deconstruction of her chosen subjects. Breaking down the auditory, visual or spatial relationships with atmospheric phenomena into minute parts for individual examination, her intense artistic gaze scrutinises each particle before reconstruction, often in an alternative form, through language, gesture or musical performance.Rickards lives and works in London, was educated at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, and was the 2009 recipient of the MaxMara Art Prize for Women.The monograph is supported by Collezione Maramotti, Italy. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Hannah Rickards: To enable me to fix my attention on any one of these symbols I was to imagine I was looking at the colours as I might see them on a moving picture screen, at Modern Art Oxford, 15 February - 21 April 2014.

Contemporary Art and Digital Culture analyses the impact of the internet and digital technologies upon art today. Art over the last fifteen years has been deeply inflected by the rise of the internet as a mass cultural and socio-political medium, while also responding to urgent economic and political events, from the financial crisis of 2008 to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. This book looks at how contemporary art addresses digitality, circulation, privacy, and globalisation, and suggests how feminism and gender binaries have been shifted by new mediations of identity. It situates current artistic practice both in canonical art history and in technological predecessors such as cybernetics and net.art, and takes stock of how the art-world infrastructure has reacted to the internet’s promises of democratisation. An invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of contemporary art – especially those studying history of art and art practice and theory – as well as those working in film, media, curation, or art education. Melissa Gronlund is a writer and lecturer on contemporary art, specialising in the moving image. From 2007–2015, she was co-editor of the journal Afterall, and her writing has appeared there and in Artforum, e-flux journal, frieze, the NewYorker.com, and many other places.
