“It’s tomorrow”
A ‘fictitious’ radio show, in reference to a novel written by Edward Bellamy in 1888, imagining a golden age that remains fictitious to this day.
Born in Aylesbury, England, in 1964, Gillick graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London, in 1987. Short-listed for the 2002 Turner Prize, his art is underpinned by rigorous theorizing: he is as much a writer as a maker of objects. However, the artist’s work is shaped by a very visual awareness of the way different properties of materials, structures and color can affect our surroundings and influence the way we act. Gillick consistently extends his practice to other disciplines, acting as designer, critic, author and curator.
