Mike Nelson: Humpty Dumpty

Fruitmarket exhibition

27th June 25 - 5th October 25

British artist Mike Nelson is known for immersive, absorbing installations that transform the spaces they inhabit.

Nelson uses Fruitmarket’s Warehouse as the machine room, or driving force, for a major new installation that extends across all three spaces of the gallery. Built around two sets of photographs taken in London and a city in Eastern Turkey between 2010 and 2014, the work captures cities in flux, guided by their politics and leaders of the time.

The work seeks to make sense of both sites and their inter-relatedness through constructed environments, sculpture and photography. Turning the Warehouse into his studio since the start of May, Nelson transforms the space into both a site of production and part of the setting for his work.

Supported by The Henry Moore Foundation.
